# Oh.
Still, The gnomon is the part of a sundial that casts the shadow. Gnomon (γνώμων) is an ancient Greek word meaning "indicator", "one who discerns," or "that which reveals."

# Not necessarily.
But hey, in for a penny, in for a pound.
Fascinatingly, though, I first learned what a gnomon was while playing the Infocom text adventure 'Wishbringer' on an Atari ST, which had a cardboard sundial included as part of its packaging.
Only after throwing it away, thinking it was a shit novelty, did I realise it was fundamental to finishing the sodding game.

# I pissed my teacher off by correcting her spelling when I was 10.
I thought I was being helpful. I could spell "fluorescent" but I couldn't spell "tact."
