    I'm seeing photos of a ruler in both posts. Do I need another ruler? Probably not. But I'll take one anyway. Sending you a PM.

    (countable) A ruler is a device used for measuring things.The ruler says that the shelf is 12 centimeters wide.

    "
    Ruler" is just a 15th century variation of "rule," which comes, via French, from Latin "regula," which meant a measuring stick, a diminutive derived from "regere," to straighten, lead, or guide. The word "rule," comes from the same source, but is more metaphorical.

    Not really, just thought as usual I've been saying it wrong all these years as burraboy seemed pretty confident, so I thought I better check!

    But if you really want some fun, head over to the metalworking forums and toss around "aluminium"! Guaranteed to upset at least a few!

    cheers, Ian
