Good job Murph, but I must state my thoughts. If there are "professionals" in this business, then tree felling (in all aspects) is nothing new. If you don't know about hinging, humbolt, leaning percentages, etc...then you don't need to be felling anything. Honestly, it's like reading an article on where to put the gas and oil.......my two cents

As far as fell and fall, isnt fell just the past tense? If I have any strong points at all it surely isnt grammer.
Nursery ryhme How much timber could a timber faller fell, if a timber feller could fall timber?
Surely we are all not timber fellers?

For those that have the mag handy check out the artlce by Marshall Adams, pg 78... Tips from an old faller...
2nd paragraph... "took my fisrst timber falling course... uncles and grandfather were all faller.... worked as a faller....etc"
Just maybe... this guy knows what to call himself and his profession better than you do! Imagine that... There aren't many loggers around here on the east coast anymore.... Not compared to out west... We may have felled all the trees on the east coast, but they are still falling them where Dent and Wiley come from...
AND you've got some serious brass to be disrespecting Dent like that... Maybe we're all just taking life and certainly this subject too seriously..

I'm not disrespecting him so much as his proof-reader and publisher.
It seems "faller" works as well for a definition as does "feller", depending on where one lives.
My link provided the first 100 of 5980 hits. I don't know if all of them are pertinent to the topic since it would require flipping through the pages to see. Your link provided all 25 hits on one page. I had earlier tried those terms as well, but figured the results to be insignificant. A couple of them I'd followed seemed to be from west coast entities, as I recall.
The <a href="http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict3&Database=wn" target="_blank">WordNet</a> database gives the same primary definition for both "faller" and "feller": 'a person who fells trees'
Good day,
Glen

Chill Murph,
We all know that glens is into quibbling about minutia because he has very little else to do.
FWIW, they are loggers around here. Some of them drive cool machines called "feller-bunchers".
Dent's book is a travesty to the english language, albeit full of great info. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right!

I don't recall bringing up the topic so can't take the credit for any thread derailing. But thanks for the input anyway, Brian.
For future reference, the best way to keep me from "discussing" a topic is to not discuss it with me.

Great article Daniel.
A timber faller fells trees. That sentence is correct to my ear. Glen is correct about the passive/active voice regarding falling and felling. Faller is the industry term for the laborer. Felling is the grammatically correct term for the action. No, it isn't a big deal but correct grammar helps communication-until we start arguing about it.:angel:
