 		Every answer so far has been 2 words, except for:

"Yardarm"

and posibly overbite -- which on my little page of answers I have listed as "Over Bite"

Could Yardarm be wrong? Or worded anotehr way?

 		Lift Off is right I think... I can't remember what they say at a rocket lauch Rolling Eyes

It's approximately three-and-a-half percent saline, on average<br>Tantalus' parching limitation, so to speak?"

Tantalus had incurable hunger and thirst and ocean water/salt water is 3.5 percent salt

So salt water?

sea water?

It's got the 3.5% salinity average, but all the versions of the Tantalus legend I remember have the water draining away when it tries to drink, not undrinkable water.

I like "Undrinkable Water" (since salt water or ocean water are "undrinkable" and I don't think that Tantalus was tempted by saline water. I agree with "Lift Off"

And the two words for answers means that Brackets and Opposite are incorrect.

Meanwhile, /me is still at work doing this and hubby is gonna be pissed.

Looking up the word online, I found guillemets

So, looks like we might be dealing with [ ] only. Square Bracket or Square Brace, maybe?

I like that, and according to this definition it is the same thing.

Brackets


OK, looking at this one again to see if we have a two word answer.

I think it might be angle brackets square brackets

Quote:
brackets - i.e., parentheses (aka round brackets) ((, )), square brackets ([, ]), curly brackets (aka braces) ({, }), and angle brackets (<, >)


EDIT

bingo! angle brackets are also used for shelving...
