Reoriented to be plum/true/vertical...?

Maybe it gets used in the trade but to these ears 'replumbed' implies time spend with a brazing torch and solder.

cheers, KENAT. My ears too. Thanks.

Please remember: we're not all guys!

"corrected" ? or the post was reinstalled (?) (or removed and installed ?) in a true vertical orientation.

another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?

If you say "re-plumbed", that implies that it was plumb originally. Do you know personally that that was the case?

If not, then say that the post needs to be made plumb.

I know... picky, picky.

Mike, good point. I don't know for sure, so I'll go with the other ideas.

Reinstalled to its correct vertical situation.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

Wouldn't that be "vertical orientation"?

Pretty well interchangeable however, I prefer situation over orientation

Adjusted to correct vertical position?

"Made vertical"?

Who even cares if it originally was vertical?

urgross: did you mean an uprising?

sit·u·a·tion
noun \ˌsi-chə-ˈwā-shən\

: all of the facts, conditions, and events that affect someone or something at a particular time and in a particular place

: an important or sudden problem

: a place or location

I don't think that means the same thing as orientation at all. An object has 6 degrees of freedom. Location fixes 3 of them, orientation fixes the other three.

The beauty of English - so many ways to say the same thing or just about the same thing.

Trued.

Fracophone for the loss! hahaha

I think you'll find that English is the only language for which there is even the need of a Thesaurus.

And that's why the pun is generally confined to English.

Ditto to dgallup's practical definition of situation V orientation

is really off base. You are, technically, correct - Most languages do not have a word for such a book, but rather call it a "Dictionary of synonyms and antonyms". For a quick example, here is the output for a simple french word, maison, or "house":

maison, s nom féminin singulier

1) appartement, demeure, domicile, foyer, gîte, habitation, home, logement, logis, pénates, toit

2) appartement, cabane, demeure, foyer, gourbi, hôtel, logement, logis, pénates, toit, villa

3) bercail, chez-soi, demeure, foyer, home, logis, toit

4) église, loge, sanctuaire, temple

5) entreprise, établissement, hôpital, manufacture, prison - Antonymes : subversion

6) artisanal

For a further discussion of this topic, particularly as it pertains to comparing English to other languages, including French, may I suggest the book 'The Mother Tongue - English And How It Got That Way', by Bill Bryson.

What's another word for "thesaurus"?

Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

http://julianh72.blogspot.com

You can find synonym for "synonym" at thesaurus.com: http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/synonym

Haha... I absolutely love the entry for the Antonym!

In the dictionary under 'iterative', it says, "See iterative".

Was it "iterative" or "recursive"?

Check out what happens when you do a Google search for "recursion":

"Did you mean: recursion"

Yes, I meant 'recursive'. My bad...

Back to the question; "corrected to plumb" ... Not predicated on the current or past orientations but rather forward looking?
