Isaiah says a proud official will be thrust from his post. In the primary lessons: In school maths: posts along a fence or road at equal gaps (posts = gaps + 1 on a straight line); letters or parcels sent by post.

Phrases: «by post», «post office», «goalpost», «postbox», «keep me posted» (tell me news).

### note

«Post» (UK) = «mail» (USA). The ball can hit the «post» of a goal. Maths: in fence problems the posts and the gaps differ by one: a straight fence with 5 gaps has 6 posts. Trap: dividing the length by the gap gives gaps, not posts.
