And if the
weighted line is too short at 12 feet, do we shout, ¡°mark

Which leads us to plumb the depths of the language issues
with a lead-weighted line, with which we might find a true
ground.
(FWIW, I don't believe in "ground" - most nodes labelled
"ground" are actually nets that return current to some
reference node.)

I'm surprised no one has worked with the
origins of plumb. Plumbum is the latin name for lead (hence
the chemical symbol Pb). The English word "Lead" is, of
course,? a heteronym - a multi-functional word with
different pronunciations.
