matt?
Just wondering... matt with 2 Ts has no meaning in English... (except as a nickname for Matthew) Correction... often used for the Gallicism "matte" meaning
a surface without gloss... not reflecting light...
A MAT... with only one T... yes... like an exercise mat... a cover... etc.
Now in yoga parlance... "at the top of the mat" is used for the "jump off" position for an exercise...
There could be a figure of speech there... like....a jump off position...
Maybe there is a clue there... something combining these two meanings... what did you hear it in reference to... ?
I repeat... MATT with 2 Ts has no real meaning as a noun in English... as an adjective.. yes...
You've aroused my curiosity... I am researching this...

Matt
-Matt is a word of german origin and can have several meanings.
-First of all it's a description of a more or less weathered, unglamorous or blind color. A diffuse reflection, the opposite is gloss. >> You're right, Roger.
-In medieval times it was an old square measure....equivalent for around 4200 squaremeters.
-It stands also for gloomy light transmission = opacity
-And last not least it describes all kinds of mood disorders, like malaise and fatigue

LOL... sometimes the answer is nowhere one looks...
So it was "top of the mast" misspelled, huh?
Good show...
and there I was researching... a sort of a "wild goose chase"....

Yes indeed! It's in the readme to add carriers to the gauge.....
I had no clue as to what it was. Obvious in hindsight, but not when you're following instructions to the letter. Cees
