Alain Dekker    667150 Sun, 08 Feb 09 11:26 PM I'm not sure how to ask this question, but you know how you watch a movie about, say, the Ancient Eqyptians and one of the characters is wearing a wristwatch. There's a word for that faux pas, which is, I think "anachronism". My question is, lets say you are watching a movie about polar bears and they show you, or talk about, polar bears catching and eating Emporer penguins. Now polar bears are strictly North Pole and Emporer penguins are strictly South Pole. This cannot happen. What is the term, if there is one, for this, please? Thanks, Alain Alain Dekker

	Clive  +  687733 Tue, 17 Mar 09 02:47 PM Hi, A 'bug' certainly is a slang term for an error, particularly with regard to computers. However, it does not really suggest the kind of error that was the subject of the original query. Clive Clive Regards, Mistakes
