Scientific paper
I strongly agree with Richard Morrison that at the end of the twentieth century, the physics teaching community should at least agree on a definition of the word ``weight.'' That we do not is very strong evidence to me that the word should simply never appear in the literature or textbooks. It should be expunged from our vocabulary-except as a substitute for the word ``object'' as in ``A weight was hanging from a string.''
