Have fun parsing what the meaning of the word "is" is.

You may call it "whimsey" if you wish....but this seems to be the argument that authors are using to say that Hatteras is taller. I have books that clearly list the SOL as a lighthouse.......that is just over 100' tall. Is the pedestal being considered? Maybe the authors need to a lesson or two on the meaning of the word "is"......or is it possible that they're right? wink wink wink

It is truly odd that a lighthouse enthusiast such as myself would live in one of the only 3 states east of the Mississippi that does not have a lighthouse. Go figure. :p
