Spent the last few days writing a clay chemistry specific "glossary of terms." If someone would be kind enough to stop by an uncross my eyes, much appreciated.

Potters are a passionate bunch. Some have passion for the process, the technique, the result, the product, and some the technical. Finding the balance that turns knowledge into information requires a learned skill set of its own. Some of us find the technical every bit as joyous as the perfectly formed piece. Just like any glaze: application is everything. And just like a favorite piece, you want to share it.

Tom, I would be honored to do some "proofreading"

Must say I am humbled by the generosity of my fellow forum members. Parts will need to be reviewed to ensure that the chemistry can be digested easily enough. Here is an example from the glossary:
"Extensibility: the measured distance clay can be extended without rupture and the force ( yield point) required to extend it. More commonly expressed as " short" or "fat" clay in relation to its elastic properties."
