&gt; &gt;Agree. Wonder if the Brits share this view. Never<br/>
&gt; too late to learn...<br/>

&gt; I think I&#39;ve lost the original point of this thread,<br/>

good one<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; but my dictionary <br/>
&gt; (OED) states that a monument is &#39;anything enduring<br/>
&gt; that serves to <br/>
&gt; commemorate or celebrate&#39;, but doesn&#39;t mention<br/>
&gt; demarcation. Nor would I <br/>
&gt; really have considered using monument to describe a<br/>
&gt; boundary post, but each <br/>

<br/>
 </span></blockquote>indeed <br/>
but i dont believe there is any real difference<br/>
between the standard british & american usages of the<br/>
term<br/>
boundary monument<br/>
<br/>
in light of your observation<br/>
it may well be that this term has become more common &<br/>
more natural in american<br/>
just as the terms <br/>
boundary post & boundary pillar & boundary beacon are<br/>
perhaps more common & natural in british<br/>
<br/>
however<br/>
these british surveyors for example do use the term<br/>
boundary monument to refer to demarcation<br/>
evidently in the normal american sense<br/>
