So I decided to find out if a football (American) was indeed a foot---12 inch---ball. And what I found out was that a football is exactly approximately 10.5 - 11.5 inches. "Big Game's competitive footballs are the exact dimensions set down by the NCAA – approximately 10.5 to 11.5 inches in length." And I have a big problem with that sentence. I've always thought exact to mean 'just so' and approximate to mean 'more or less'. I've never heard someone say "I need this built to these exact specifications---approximately." I know, there are more important things to worry about, but this just bothers me. lol
