Theos-Talk Archives (May 2000 Message tt00029)

My reference to the words "oblong square" was in conjunction with the word 
"thin" and "rectangle" referring to a writing material.  In this context, the 
words are meaningless.  In addition, there is no such "Thing" as an oblong 
square.  HPB probably meant a thin oblong sheet having square corners.  But 
such a sheet cannot be a "square" in itself, since a square sheet cannot be 
oblong.
