<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">The purpose of this thread was to find a way to express the exterior of an object.</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Using "I paint the house", is just an example I selected, which obviously I shouldn't have, because it would raise the question why I don't use reD.</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">For a house we have reD. But what if I want to describe the exterior surface of an object in general ?</p>

<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Some definitions tend to be so specific, that in the end we are being left holding our d***s, unable to express some things which one would expect them to be specified when these words were given.</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">We have "surface of water", we have "surface of a planet", and the "bottom surface of a table, ceiling".</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">But we don't have a word for "surface" in general.</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">It was sooo damn important to have a word for the bottom surface of a table though..</p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0;">Because, surely, each day there are sooo many times we need to talk about the bottom surface of a table..</p>
