A Mote in God’s Eye
By Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
One of the finest pieces of sci-fi ever written.

Mote from OE "mōtan" is must. Mote from OE "mot" means speck. Obviously build a speck would take joe far less time than building a moat (from the ME "mote").

Mote is old English for the word "Must" can I assume you mean Moat?

Building a "mote" should take all of a couple of seconds.

Hey that happened to mom too but she was stealing apples. I think my granddad actually spanked her after that too... Now a days someone would be trying to sue someone else.
I have been thinking about building a mote, that could be fun for all sorts of reasons. Darn thing would have to be a third of a mile to go down one property line though. Though if I built one that long that was 6 feet deep and 10 feet wide I would have about 100k cubic feet of dirt to make a sledding hill for the winter or as a base to build a nice tower like Merlin had.  Then I get to do the other side of the property and build another hill. Of course it took me a couple of days just to dig my sump drain line trench and that was only 300 feet x 6 inches wide by 18 inches deep.

When I was a kid, I once got an ass-load of salt from a shotgun from a crotchety old dinosaur farmer. Something about his pumpkins and the M-80s I was sticking in them….

In the south we say something like
"Hey you kids.... Get those Quads off my land! Don't make me put out my AK47, oh wait, those are baned, I mean my .30-06!"

Well sort of...
People in the city have "lawns", us folks in the country have "land".... Sort of... "Hey you kids.... Get those Quads off my land! Don't make me put up a barbed wire fence."

What sucks is that lack of writing skill is quickly rolling over into every day writing such as blogs (which, IMO, should be a step above an email in quality), online news articles, and printed writing now.
I get dinged at work fairly regularly because I am willing to write up a long descriptive email of a solution to a problem but won't write up a "knowledge base" article for it in Word. It isn't because I don't want to, actually I wouldn't mind if that was my entire job, it is because when I write something up that I consider formal (such as a Word document) or long lived versus an email, I will strive to at least understand why Word is underlining things and make sure that case, tense, voice, party, flow, etc etc ad nauseum are correct. I hate reading something that was written for a formal or semi-formal forum and the writing is poor and I hate to have people look at me the way they do when they encounter that quality of writing. You just look like an uneducated bumpkin.That means anything I write in Word for the KB system (or anything else really) will likely take 10-20 times longer than an informal email where I just tossed stuff out there.

I'm just pleased Laura didn't single me out for humiliation for the grammatical howler I made in my earlier post. She must be getting soft.
