Nomenclature – the key to communication, that is if the words selected have the same meaning to all listening.

One has to keep in mind, that “nomenclature”, the words used to describe stuff, is highly subjective, thus, dependent upon the ideas or thoughts directed to perhaps “particular audiences”. Each of us has been “trained”, if you will, to understand the words we typically use to have specific meanings. However, this yields an opportunity to perhaps “distort” somewhat, the thought presented to those not in the know…or so it seems…

The average person will never go digging on the moon to find water.

Specialized machinery will do that and for them twice as wet as Sahara MAY mean that it’s cost effective to get the water needed to run an installation.

Having a bit of an issue with this and other articles describing the Moon as “wet”. For instance, “twice as wet as the Sahara Desert” still does not meet most people’s idea of “wet”.

For the average person, England is wet. The Amazon is wet. Southeast Asia in Monsoon season is wet, as is the ocean and any lake. The Sahara is not wet, and twice as wet as stereotypically dry is still awfully dry.

For instance, the LCROSS team found lots of mercury, which has a little toxicity problem that could get in the way of harvesting water in a drinkable form.

What is “a lot”?
Fact is that there are extremely sensitive methods to
detect mercury vapour. And typically a “science” writer
makes “a lot” out of some dozen ppbs.
And more important: removing mercury from water
is very easy.
