    My one word description is "average".

    Two word uncutsplain is "average,adequate".

    My threee word obstitian splain(for engineers) is "humanity, middle ability......."

    For others, I add "Nothing to aspire to".

    That you can see all the letters on line 8 on our chart when standing 20 feet from it; either corrected or uncorrected.

    "You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!"

    I can see that sign at 40 feet if I have 20/20 vision, but you can't see it until you're 20 feet away if you have 20/40 vision. That means it's probably too late for you to exit the road before you enter the Twilight Zone. Good luck, and for the rest of you, get first-rate eyeglasses and see an eye doctor if you don't want to risk crossing over into the Twilight Zone.

    Very good Robert, now if you can add Burgess Meredith into another narrative, why I'd be ever so grateful.
