I'd also like to suggest that from my point of view your reaction to the
confusion was *way* out of line. The correct response is simply to note
that you are using "velocity" in its technical sense as a vector and not
its lay sense as a synonym for speed, then continue the discussion from
there. Berating him for bad English is simply uncalled for, although it is
of course par for the course on Usenet.

I simply started getting ****ed off when I had to state it for the
third time and he continued to try to put words into my mouth. Go back
over the thread and see it. Also I did not berate him, if you read the
thread you would see the following exchange

Stefan: What part of "everyday's language" wasn't clear?
Me: I can see you have trouble with English too.

Is that what you call berating him?

Yes.

Perhaps you did not read the
thread ?

I read it. It is possible in this case to disagree for reasons other than
ignorance.
