Question: does a grain mean the same thing in geology as it does in Material science? If so, a grain 10 inches in diameter seems impossibly large! I would not expect to find this naturally (Neutron Stars, etc. notwithstanding). 142.157.103.144 ( talk) - 15:27, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
I question the statement "In British English a rock is bigger than a boulder" Neither the Cambridge Dictionary ( https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/rock), the Macmillan Dictionary ( https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/boulder) or the Dictionary linked in the sources ( https://www.dictionary.com/browse/rock) give reason to believe that. Just the opposite, the first two dictionaries define a boulder as "a very large rock" ( https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/boulder & https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/boulder) which to me is the opposite of the statement in question. 2003:C9:672B:9F59:3C4A:50D5:A78D:21E ( talk) 21:40, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
I suggest removing the statement at this point. Tankpiggy18 ( talk) 17:06, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
