This one's been bugging me recently;
Worse ≠ Worst
Worse is to 'better'
as
Worst is to 'best'
Worse ≠ Worst
Worse is to 'better'
as
Worst is to 'best'

If we could post in cursive, it would certainly limit the debate.I think this one is my favourite.
Subtlety is lost on the internet. It hits better when one can judge inflection and tone of voice.

Regarding weight vs mass (keep in mind I wasn't part of the original argument on this). I've never weighed anything on the moon and most likely never will weigh anything on the moon, unless we suffer some weird turn of events in the near future.
So safe to say weight and mass are basically interchangeable as the gravity under which I'll ever be weighing anything isn't changing. Unless one want to consider the minute change periodically caused by the moons gravitational pull.
My biggest worry however is bouyancy, should I ever have the need to shoot a fish. There's no means to enter specific gravity in fluid into my ballistics calculator... so how do I know which elevation adjustment to make?

I really didn't want to "weigh" in on this conversation anymore but mass and weight are not interchangeable regardless of location.
Mass is constant and has magnitude only. Represented by kilograms (Kg).
Weight has magnitude and direction, represented by Newtons (N).
As I said earlier we all use these terms interchangeably albeit incorrectly
Shooting is not only a sport but a science.
The more accurately we apply it the better our results.
As to your shooting fish I think your primary concern would be the surface tension implications.
