...'cos I'm that mood.
If an image has the properites of a hologram, it hologramatic, not holograhic
Hologram
Photograph made by means of laser, which when illuminated by another laser produces a 3-dimentional image of the ogject photographed
Holograph
Document wholly in handwritting of person in who name it appears.
What's do you call a word that, because of it's continues miss-use, ends up meaning what it's been mistaken with?

Erm, sorry to disappoint you, but Dictionary.com has two definitions for the word holographic.
The 2nd defn matches your one relating to handwriting, but the first definition is:
- Of or relating to holography or holograms.
Oh, and according to the same site, there is no such word as hologramatic.![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

Funny you should say that, but I did think someone would pull me up on the reply.
Should it be 'IS smart @rses' or 'IS A smart @rse'![Confused](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/confused.gif)
Either way, your names going on my blacklist![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

It's wrong in more ways than one:
Of course it's perfectly possible to produce one that's viewable using ordinary, incoherent, light. It's not a photograph either, it's an interference pattern. If you split a holographic plate in two, you get two holograms of the original picture (not half each). That's why it's called 'hologram' meaning 'whole image'. ![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Edit: if you've ever made a hologram, you'll know what a bitch it is getting all the beamsplitters in the right places such that one beam strikes the object, the other the plate, and the reflected light from the object strikes the plate. Then you have to develop the plate/film in total darkness if you've been using red lasers, as the plate/film is sensitive in the red optical band so you can't use one of those red lights to see. If you dump your hands in the developer instead of the water, it stings a lot [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

...and so on for:
properites (properties)
handwritting (handwriting)
in who name it (in whose name it)
What's do you call a word (What do you call a word)
because of it's (because of its)
continues (continuous)
what it's been mistaken with? (ending the sentence with a preposition
)

Carl,
I'm normally very particular in making sure that my spelling and grammar are correct in my postings. Thank you for pointing out my mistakes. Hope it make you feel big![Wink](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

Not at all, but you should get your own house in order before criticizing others for their use of English
