No problem! I learned to Read English at an Early Age - Every Word Has An Impact on The Communication of a Sentence-
My Profession as A Physicist taught me to Understand how People mistake the Meanings of American Sentences-
( BTW- I was born in SC and - They Speak and Write English in an Extremely Accurate manner-)
Now Back to FUN

A challenge:
Next time you have the opportunity to photograph such a good example of a rainbow, be sure to look at the polarization of the bow. A few years ago I encountered a short segment of a bow and took a photo. I had a CP on the lens and looking at the monitor I saw no rainbow. I rotated the filter and the bow appeared. I have not had the opportunity to repeat the shot with a sizable bow, so although I suspect it should be circularly symmetric I have not had the chance to do the experiment. Since the source is at the center of the bow, and since the CP filter is really a linearly polarized filter on the outside, I would expect to see a half-bow (or, more precisely, two half-bows) instead of a full bow. The half-bow should rotate with the filter. My shot just happened to see the gap where the bow was. I neglected to record the position of the CP filter for comparison.
