[George Stolz]

Ufer is not an abbreviation.

Ufer is not an abbreviation.

[George Stolz]

Not at all - here is a detailed account of Herbert Ufer's discoveries regarding concrete encased electrodes that gets posted from time to time: http://www.psihq.com/iread/ufergrnd.htm

hey there are some missing ones!

How about UFFER or UFER

Hint - Person!

Don't tell me.......... tell the MODS, I can't edit their posts.

 

[Sierrasparky]

Seems the mods are saying it's a person so it's not a acronym.
Any how we use it all the time as a acronyn and it should be added. The code book calls for a CEE but we all know it as a UFER. In my county they even have it on the card as a UFFER!

 

[George Stolz]

You don't have to take my word for it, look it up: Definition of "acronym"

Don't go tellin' me.......... tell them there MODS, I can't edit their posts.

So, what is it an acronym for: Underground Ferrous Electrical Rebar. :-?

It is not an acronym, it is a trade name.

No, it's a man's name.

But, that's a cute definition.

I call it a Ufer, not a UFER.

I call it a Ufer, not a UFER.

So you pronounce it yoo-fer instead of oo-fer?

Like puffer without the p.

 

[George Stolz]

Weird. Around here we say "yoofer" despite the German pronunciation "oofer."

 

[jumper]

did you just make that up?

Yep.........

 

[jumper]

No, it's a man's name.

Dat true.

But, that's a cute definition.

I thought so.

Po tah toe / Po tay toe.:grin:

 

[LarryFine]

In that case, wouldn't you have said "I call it an Ufer ..." instead of "I call it a Ufer ..."?

I know you meant only the first letter is upper case, meaning it's not a acronym. ()

 

[weressl]

I always thought the H stood for honest.

..and I thought it was hokey..
