New Sub Dives To Crushing Depths

University of Washington Scientists are reporting that they have a new autonomous underwater vehicle that increases both the attainable depth and duration of deployment over current submersibles. Weighing in at just under 140 pounds, the "Deepglider" is able to stay out to sea for up to a year and hit depths of almost 9,000 feet. "Deepglider opens up new research possibilities for oceanographers studying global climate change. The glider's first trip revealed unexpected warming of water near the ocean floor, and scientists are interested in studying whether the temperatures are related to global warming."

Only an American would fail to see what he was going for with that.

Only an asshole would assume that I didn't know where he was going with that when I clearly understood what he was trying to say, and providing a gentle correction.

If you're wondering why your correction is not gentle, it's because you're being a cocky smartass and utterly failing to be smart, while they were simply using the wrong abbreviation.

Stop me if I'm wrong, but be damn sure I'm wrong.
