:) <--- note that I'm smiling.
How does one get past the plateau of a peerage?
I may be too hard to offend, but I don't really get why "terminal" causes
such consternation.
If you're on a flight, when your flight is over, your at the terminal. It
doens't mean you're dead. Hopefully.
If you're on a voyage, and you've reached the end, you're at the terminus of
destination.
Terminal is a word that means an end of some kind. Since there is no award
higher than a peerage in our game, they are terminal awards. I'd suggest
it's easier for a few people to change their perceptions of a word than for
others to adopt words that are less precise.
Just my thought on the matter
