Is altitude a factor?

    The pilot says cruising altitude because that's the term you use when you're in the fucking air. Elevation is when you're on the fucking ground.

    When people started flying instead of being on the fucking ground all the fucking time, the language needed to evolve to differentiate between the two.

    @BearsWiin has been around a long time. Guarantee he caught irregardless but it's a mute poont because he realized you were using it ironically.
    @BearsWiin is a god guy. Nothing like you'd picture him by his posts.

    Irregardless, the point of language is to communicate information. If you ask most any person what the altitude of the mile high city is, they will have a general idea, because the question has a context, and the reference point of sea level is assumed in that context.

    Language nazis are a dying breed, which is a good thing, in a language that is evolving all the time. If it wasn't, we'd still all be speaking old english.

    ALTITUDE IS NEVER A FACTOR IN A FUCKING FOOTBALL GAME BECAUSE FOOTBALL IS PLAYED ON A FUCKING FIELD ON THE GROUND AND NOT UP IN THE FUCKING AIR SOMEWHERE

    Main Difference – Altitude vs. Elevation

    The terms altitude and elevation both refer to a height. The two terms have somewhat similar meanings, although there is a difference in where and how the two terms are used. The main difference between altitude and elevation is that the word altitude is used to describe the vertical distance between an object and a reference point whereas elevation is used to describe the height of a place above the sea level.

    What is Altitude

    Altitude is the height of an object above a reference point or level. The reference level could be defined to be anything, although mean sea level (MSL) or above ground level (AGL) are commonly used. For example, we use the term “altitude” to refer to how high an airplane is flying. This altitude is measured using a device called an altimeter. An altimeter actually a barometer, measuring pressure. However, the higher up above the sea level you are, the less is the pressure you are going to experience (This is because at higher places, the weight of the air pushing down on you is less). Therefore, a barometer can be calibrated to give the height of a point above sea level.

    What is Elevation

    The term “elevation” is used to refer to the height of a place above the mean sea level. The image below shows a diagram showing how much of the Earth is at various altitudes:

    As mentioned before, at higher elevations, the air is “thinner”. i.e. it is less dense because there is less air pushing down on it. This means that the air pressure as well as the amount of oxygen is less at higher elevations and has important implications for humans. For instance, some people suffer high-altitude sickness (note that although the word altitude is used rather than elevation, in this case, the term generally refers to the height of a place above sea level) where they experience dizziness and shortness of breath.


    Altitude refers to the height of an object above a given point.

    Elevation refers to the height of a place above the mean sea level.

    OK!

    hmmm, altitude.... I can't wait to see how much further out of bounds our kicks go and how far wide the field goals are on Saturday.

    Instead of walking away he requested Stalin do the honorable thing and ban him. Hardcore Husky was apparently filth and bad for his brand.

    @Meek and @TommySQC are a couple now dead posters I know IRL and wish they hadn’t pussed out. They’re both HHB OGs.
