I'm going through reviews from a beta reader. I've got a person sitting at one side of a round table, another person sitting across from the 1st (180 degrees), with my character described as "sitting between" the 1st two (at 90 degrees from each.)
My reviewer thought that this was wrong, because technically sitting between them (at a round table) would mean my character is sitting ON the table. Funny.
I think this is being a little picky, I'm using "between" in a very general sense, while the reviewing is using a more geometrical definition (middle of two points.)
Am I wrong, and if so, what would be an alternate description?
thanks
