A proper bit of pendantry about Rod Liddle’s column today.

A much commoner bit of twaddles is when someone announces that the air is hot, humid, and heavy. As a metaphor “heavy” is just fine. But at the same pressure and temperature humid air is lighter than dry air. (Because 18 < 29.)
And, of course, other things being equal, hot air is lighter than cold air.
Often it won't matter a button but I did see recently some idiot basing an argument on taking "heavy" literally. Was it Grauniadballs? Probably.
