      {Trade wind}, a wind in the torrid zone, and often a little
            beyond at, which blows from the same quarter throughout
            the year, except when affected by local causes; -- so
            called because of its usefulness to navigators, and hence
            to trade.
  
      Note: The general direction of the trade winds is from N. E.
               to S. W. on the north side of the equator, and from S.
               E. to N. W. on the south side of the equator. They are
               produced by the joint effect of the rotation of the
               earth and the movement of the air from the polar toward
               the equatorial regions, to supply the vacancy caused by
               heating, rarefaction, and consequent ascent of the air
               in the latter regions. The trade winds are principally
               limited to two belts in the tropical regions, one on
               each side of the equator, and separated by a belt which
               is characterized by calms or variable weather.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   thread n.   [Usenet, GEnie, CompuServe] Common abbreviation of
   `topic thread', a more or less continuous chain of postings on a
   single topic.   To `follow a thread' is to read a series of Usenet
   postings sharing a common subject or (more correctly) which are
   connected by Reference headers.   The better newsreaders can present
   news in thread order automatically.   Not to be confused with the
   techspeak sense of `thread', e.g. a lightweight process.
  
      Interestingly, this is far from a neologism.   The OED says: "That
   which connects the successive points in anything, esp. a narrative,
   train of thought, or the like; the sequence of events or ideas
   continuing throughout the whole course of anything;" Citations are
   given going back to 1642!
  
  

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   trit /trit/ n.   [by analogy with `bit'] One base-3 digit; the
   amount of information conveyed by a selection among one of three
   equally likely outcomes (see also {bit}).   Trits arise, for example,
   in the context of a {flag} that should actually be able to assume
   _three_ values -- such as yes, no, or unknown.   Trits are sometimes
   jokingly called `3-state bits'.   A trit may be semi-seriously
   referred to as `a bit and a half', although it is linearly
   equivalent to 1.5849625 bits (that is, log2(3)      bits).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Truth
      Used in various senses in Scripture. In Prov. 12:17, 19, it
      denotes that which is opposed to falsehood. In Isa. 59:14, 15,
      Jer. 7:28, it means fidelity or truthfulness. The doctrine of
      Christ is called "the truth of the gospel" (Gal. 2:5), "the
      truth" (2 Tim. 3:7; 4:4). Our Lord says of himself, "I am the
      way, and the truth" (John 14:6).
