True, but then when two planes have a 'near miss' they report it as a 'near miss' don't they !!!!!
Thats how I would see it. As in they missed, but it was close, as in near, therefor 'near miss'.

When they collide they have a near miss... (*George Carlin Voice ON*: "Booooommm! Look! They nearly missed!" *George Carlin Voice OFF*)...
Not colliding is a near hit!


Excellent.
Can u do any more impressions!!!!

Near Miss works for me. They missed but it was very close.

I know.

But if you miss, you had the intention to NOT miss, to hit, so you missed.



Anyways.

I never thought about such things... but then I saw George Carlin...

The pre-heated oven... Another such impossible thing... An oven can only be heated or unheated...
