| 283596 | 2004-10-22 10:24:00 | Billy - usually you pick something archaic but fungible is in current use . Normally you'd find it in investment analysis . For example, shares in Australian banks are fungible - because they all perform well, and you are just as well to hold one as another . Or government bonds at different interest rates and durations are fungible ie . their relative value is the same whichever one you sell or buy . Keep up the good work . |

| 283597 | 2004-10-22 11:32:00 | Aha, Winston - "Current use" in the rarefied air of the towers of commerce doesn't mean we ground-hoppers know such words. So yes, Billy T does have to keep up the good work. (Mind you, one of the things I like about Invercargill is that it has no skyscrapers - apart from the lovely Water Tower, of course) drb1: Never ate an odd one - just reared on old-style picturebooks with huge fungi menacing children lost in forests. Far more scary than anything Walt Disney put out... |

I check all words for current usage, but this one was so off the wall I decided that only Economists or Lawyers would know it . And so it was proven . :^O Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |
