Is cheap/bad olive oil a bit of a randy old so and so?  What makes it "extra virgin"?

My bottle of golden syrup proudly states on the label that it is 'partially inverted', but what does that mean?  Would it be better if it was totally inverted, like the finest olive oil is extra virgin?  What does this inversion process involve?

Different types of clouds form at many different altitudes, including above the height of Everest. I'm guessing you actually knew this, as you know snow comes from clouds!

In actual fact there is very little snow on the high slopes of Everest compared with the peaks of other mountains in the region. This is due to the extreme altitude which brings amongst other things, extremely high winds (100 mph+ is common), which continuously blow snow off the mountain’s peak, in the form of ‘spindrift’ (see below). Everest is so high, the summit actually pokes into the jet stream.


The comparative lack of snow, plus the colour of the granite Everest largely consists of, has given rise to its occasional name ‘The Black Pyramid’. The photo below shows this well. It also shows clouds around the summit!

The clouds around Everest change every minute of every day, just like anywhere else in the world. What will keep the peaks snowy however when it seems like there isn’t any source for the snow, is the pretty constant low temperature, and the snow pack on the higher peaks. Snow packs are what can eventually evolve into glaciers.

Everest can get some intense storms, so the amount of the snow that can fall during these periods will keep the peaks snowy. However, you will see some peaks and sides of the mountains that aren’t covered in snow; these are Teflon peaks. This means they have a gradient of 45 degrees or higher, to which the snow cannot lie.

Different types of clouds form at different altitudes. Mountain peaks are higher than some clouds, but not all clouds. They get snowed on by the higher clouds. That’s really all there is to it.

Some of these questions really make my brain curdle.

Let's just say there are more clouds above those on and around Mt. Everest that take snow preference than those where Mt. Everest sticks above.

Because Mt Everest does NOT lie above cloud!

Mount Everest does not always lie above the clouds. The snow on Everest comes from clouds that are higher than Mount Everest.

Because not all clouds are at a lower altitude.

All the way through school (50 years ago) I was taught:  "The criminal will be sentanced and the judge will state it in a sentence."

This was on my SAT in 1976, and was considered a fatal error in a college application.

WikiDiff says the word sentence is obsolete.  I'm happy with that.  No more confusion.  This likely happened in an AP Style Book change long ago.  Just as we used to say, "The man PLED guilty," we now say, "The man PLEADED guilty."
