Use of "Burn"

[edit]

I object to the use of the word "burn" in this article's context. Although perhaps a common colloquialism, as used here in phrases "the clouds burn away" and "the overcast will burn off quickly", in my opinion this is inaccurate and may be confusing, especially to young or otherwise ignorant readers. Would someone with appropriate meteorological and linguistic knowledge please substitute less ambiguous and more technically correct language? 71.103.66.20 05:19, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]



This is a colloquialism used in California, especially by the news media, hence the use of quotes in the article. Clouds do not "burn" any more than mud "slides" (the correct term being debris flow), but this is what is commonly used in major newspapers and televised news.
