Bump - for newcomers...

Nerd post!
Under the heading of useful terms I'd like to mention these two terms that are confused often on this forum.
Hydrometer vs hygrometer
Hydrometer is an instrument that is used to measure the specific gravity, or in other words, the relative density of a liquid.
Hygrometer is an instrument that is used to measure the humidity in a given volume.
You use a hydrometer to check the coolant in the radiator of your vehicle.
You use a hygrometer in your humidor/coolidor/etc. to measure it's relative humidity.

Here's another one for ya, @Bob_Luken:
An ordinance is a law or rule or decree. Ordnance, without an “i,” means weapons or ammunition. Ordnance was derived from ordinance centuries ago, and the words have distinct meanings. The military needs a place to dispose of its out-of-date ordnance.

Wait! I guess we do use ordnance when discussing bombs sometimes and we probably do get them confused too. I wouldn't have known the difference.1 -
