But hey just tell me the the date of the Bangkok post when it was published as the article I read in it gave no such details but perhaps I missed one. Many thanks. Today's online BP.

Redline Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If they had proper fire equipment, they probably could have saved it. Maybe it was an insurance scam-the owner could not make payments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these dictionaries have more credibility than the one you used. I assume you state that to dispute that you were wrong . Or else you can not be bothered to quote anything. Let me help you, something from the Oxford English dictionary you appear to have misplaced. By the way that is not the concise edition. "a large sailing boat, often also with an engine and a place to sleep on board, used for pleasure trips and racing a yacht club/race a motor yacht a luxury yacht " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Mcseismic Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) 1. (Nautical Terms) a vessel propelled by sail or power, used esp for pleasure cruising, racing, etc a : a sailboat used for racing b : a large usually motor-driven craft used for pleasure cruising As a person that works at sea, I know that there are motor yachts. Try typing into Google Motor yachts. You're wrong. Yacht is a pleasure craft that can be powered by sail, or, motor.

You are unable to support by factual direct quotes rather, you use incorrect quotations. Which means that Wendyfromooz statement, rather question, was 100 % correct rather than your false quoting to suggest otherwise. However enough of this stupidity. Yachts have sails and motor boats have motors and motor yachts have both sails and motors. End off. American bastardisation of the term yacht still does not make it correct English.

You are soooooo wrong (and stubborn). Those cut and pastes are direct from dictionaries. How much more direct do you want? Just type in to Google Motor Yachts for sale. Loads. You can't sell a non-existent item, now, can you? Many of these vessels have M/Y in front of their names (just like SS used to mean Steam Ship). I'll let you guess what M/Y means, or, if you need a link..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_prefix Edited August 9, 2019 by Joe Mcseismic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
