I'm a bit fearful of entering the fray again.
Michael G pretty much hit the nail... I'm reluctanct
to use words if people who are uncertain of their
meaning can't find them in a glossary or dictionary.
Yes, I agree the meaning is fairly obvious. But if you
can't find it in regularly available dictionaries, use
something different or add it to the glossary.
And speaking of 'English floating around'--there was
an ad in the real estate section of last Saturday's
West for a house in Gosnells (suburb of Perth) that
had a "sunken lounge with floating floors". Sounds
interesting.
Cheers,
Terry
