Is a "twain" a unit of measure? My understanding is that the word simply means two, and so twain means two fathoms, which is not the same as saying that two fathoms are a twain in the same snse that three feet are a yard. Greg Woodhouse 16:29, 2 April 2007 (CDT)

I'd say certainly not: I can find no reference to it except in the famous expression "mark twain", where fathoms is understood. I've dropped it from my rewrite. --Ant Allan 16:32, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
