| Nov 13 at 16:15 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | This requirement isn't just to make you jump through a hoop for no reason, but so you can show what you found so that answers can address what you found. A boat is a boat, a dinghy is a dinghy, and a raft is a raft. Clearly you either found vague definitions or misunderstood them, so please provide those definitions so the vagary or misunderstanding can be addressed. | |

| Nov 13 at 13:47 | comment | added | Andy Bonner | Being made of rubber doesn't alter the working definitions of "boat," "dinghy," and "raft." When asking about the meaning of words, please start by looking them up in a dictionary, and if questions remain, tell in your question about the confusing results you found. Then answers can address those findings instead of just giving you the same information you found confusing. Voting to close for now; please use the "Edit" button to add this info and make the question valid for answering. | |

Tell us what you found and why it didn’t meet your needs. This demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to try to help yourself, it saves us from reiterating obvious answers, and above all, it helps you get a more specific and relevant answer! | |
