The word has its uses, heaven knows--I first heard of it in "error of closure", which is the error when a surveyor measures his away around a closed course, plots it on a map, and finds that the ends don't meet. Now with lasers and GPS, errors of closure must be mighty slim. And functions and relations in mathematics have their closure.<br /><br />But I do like a roof with closure.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819154529261482038noreply@blogger.com
