Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: What is a seaman?
Speaker B: A sailor! SEAMAN combines sea and man, so it means a person who works on a ship, especially in a non-officer rank.
Speaker A: So it's a navy rank?
Speaker B: Yes — able seaman is above ordinary seaman!
Speaker A: Example sentences?
Speaker B: "An able seaman"; "a merchant seaman"; "he was a seaman" — navy, civilian and rank.
Speaker A: Common mistakes?
Speaker B: Don't use seaman for a woman, because the gender-neutral term is seafarer or sailor.
Speaker A: Close relatives?
Speaker B: 'Sailor' the general cousin, 'mariner' the formal twin, 'deckhand' the specific alternative. The word keeps its nautical charm!
