that's one of those things that "chap my a$$"
"i have a 28 moppie",a guy on my dock told me - i explained to him,the whole story...
again,just one of those things that tweak me,like people who say "issue",instead of "problem"...
Excuse me, but if you had a bloody nose and asked for a "Kleenex", would you get "chapped" if I handed you an XXX brand facial tissue?

I understand your point, but sometimes a term "unofficially" becomes part of the vernacular. I have checked with some of the recognized boat sales sites and find the term "moppie" used to describe the open cockpit with foredeck configuration of the bertram hull too frequently used to be ignored.

Please don't misunderstand me. The proper term is regardless, not irregardless and there is no word "orientate", it is to orient or to provide orientation. People are sloppy to say the least and it pisses me off except for one reason. It frequently indicates the level of knowledge of those we are called upon the have dealings.
