These teams have collected enough extraterrestrial dust particles (varying from 30 to 200 micrometers in size) to estimate their annual flux.

    Thinking of the old adage “Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust” it could be alians landing on Earth ;-)

        I’d prefer to be called a ‘layperson’ if I’m to be labelled ;-)

            Actually I am. English is my first language and I studied it too in tertiary education. It does seem though that you really jump quickly to incorrect assumptions about others. I was really pointing out to you that I prefer to be addressed by a more politically correct term such as layperson, if you really want to give me a label. You seem to have missed that nuance.

                Again you miss the nuance… it’s not about party politics - it about being gender sensitive, racially sensitive, etc. That is your third strike on the nuances of the English language. It’s not about mathematics but about meaning and context. But OK this is a science forum so I don’t want to end up trolling it, as the topic is languages.

        I don’t think you or any other laymen have heard of term “being condoscending”
