How long is a piece of string?
Seriously, how short can a piece of string be before it's no longer worth calling a piece of string? When a neighbour of mine died, the relatives found a brown paper bag (containing pieces of string) bearing the legend "pieces of string too short to be of any use".
This means, to my way of thinking, that the pieces of string had to be too short to be tied (or even spliced) together to make a longer piece of string.
How short is this, please?
