[QUOTE]Originally posted by Grumman: [QB] From The Explorer: [b]''...if regions are to be typified by latitudinal/longitudinal directional indicators like "north, south, east and west", then there should be consistency in grouping regions that occupy the same general latitudes and longitudes respectively, with a single standard respective to the said parameters -- which in this case, either are geographical in nature; likewise should be the case, when the "Sahara" [which for some "odd" reason, became THE main geographical marker/divisor in "Western" discourse, pertaining to African affairs] is applied as a [geographical] dichotomous tool -- for instance, one can't say that say, Nigeria, is "sub-Saharan" and that Ethiopia isn't. That amounts to applying a double standard using a singular parameter -- "the supposed location vis-a-vis the Sahara" as the basis of classification.''[/b] None of that is my argument. Is that better? I recognized the opening sentence but decided to leave it alone. My bad, I should have deleted it when I thought about it initially. [b]''Good; now tell me about what I had asked; where is the "middle' of the African continent, as represented by what figure for latitude and longitude respectively.''[/b] Since we (not you )were talking (generally) about longitude in terms of a middle division I said 20 degrees give or take a few. Now that you are more specific then latitude coordinates will be approximately 35north. Now the middle position as represented by both coordinates will read 35n latitude, 20e longitude. And A military satellite will give the minutes and seconds within those degrees for precision. For informational purposes there is no doubt any individual on this planet represents a degree of location with the precison of minutes and seconds thrown in. [/QB][/QUOTE]
