Actually the one that really grates on me is the use of "unisex" in the Building Code of Australia (BCA). It's used to imply the inclusion of all sexes, but if you look at its roots, uni = one, it implies the exact opposite. Obviously "ambisex" or "omnisex" make much better sense.
See, that's why you need lawyers. If it wasn't for all the backwards words and quaint jargon of legalese you could understand this stuff yourself and have no need of them.
Don't bring the BCA into it, it (both volumes) is a document of contradictions! (and not a very exciting read)
A document that tells you the rules & regs on how you
have to 'build stuff'...(unless you can prove your way works too, and then that's OK) WTF?!?
Sorry, off topic - I recently lent (or is that borrowed?
) Vol 2. to my neighbour (a design engineer) to assist him in making some decisions about his renovations, he brought it back after 2 days saying that it was the most confusing thing he'd ever read, and he's an ENGINEER!!!
.....I thought it was just me!
