SandmanYou cannot make a store a standard, but you can use one store as a standard to be measured against. Colonial is huge compared to all other camera stores in the Central Florida area. (Except B&H's store in Kissimmee that you allegedly visited)

Yes, and some feel that the Forte's Agent is the measure to which others should be held.
And some people think Colonial is a huge camera store. That doesn't make it a standard. A standard is something that can be measured against. One item is not something you can measure against, at least not in the context of the word "standard".
And, yes, you can make one item a standard. In the context of stores, we can use size (square footage), pricing policies, inventory breadth, or inventory depth as a standard for comparison. A standard is a base of comparison.
More definitions:You have just endeavored to make the point that one item is not something you can measure against. While the point is invalid, if it is valid it destroys your argument. The treatment of threads is only one way to compare newsreaders. In actuality, we compare newsreaders by many different points.
standard used or accepted as normal or average - (of a size, measure, design, etc.) such as is regularly used or produced; not special or exceptional: all these doors come in a range of standard sizes.
Again, have an adult explain it to you.Typical responses from you when you can't come up with a meaningful counterpoint.Tony CooperSandman
The definition you've chosen allows any newsreader to be the "standard" to which others are compared.
Only to an illiterate clown.
You are becoming increasingly hysterical in your posts.
