in reply to a message by araslanka
How often do you actually hear the word tempest used in that context? I'm genuinely curious :)

I live in the South Pacific, so maybe more than some people? I hear it a lot, I think, but it's hard to pinpoint how often.
Or do you mean that people usually say hurricane or cyclone instead of tempest? For me they all mean the same thing. It'd be like naming your kid "Combat" and saying it's okay because in everyday language people usually say "fight" instead.

Yes, I mean that people more often use a synonym instead of tempest itself. I still don't really see an issue with it, though - I guess we're just not going to agree on this one :)

Heh, yeah I guess not! :)
