Why use honing compoound?

[Ken S]

I would like to second Mark's comment about English. On another sharpening forum, we have members from all over the globe. English is sometimes a native labguage, and sometimes a second or third language. English fluency varies. We have regional dialect differences as well. I think the linguistic differences make the forum more interesting, like seasoning on a meal. 

I am much more interested in the knowledge being shared than in minor language missteps. The late photographer, Ansel Adams, once said, "There is nothing worse than a sharp picture of a fuzzy concept."

We have some bright, experienced sharpeners on this forum with good ideas to share. Let's not be concerned with minor details like language usage.
