General terms and specific terms are not opposites, as abstract and concrete terms are; instead, they are the different ends of a range of terms. General terms refer to groups; specific terms refer to individualsâbut there's room in between. Let's look at an example.
For medium-size dog breeds, considered a whelping box that is about 28 to 34 inches long by 28 to 34 inches deep. Large dog breeds need whelping boxes that measure about 42 to 45 inches long by 34 to 40 inches deep.
In order to ship a box that is 130 inches in combined length and girth, the box must be mailed either by Standard Post or Parcel Select. All other shipping methods have a maximum limit of 108 inches in combined length and girth. USPS measures length by measuring the longest dimension of the box or parcel. Girth is gauged by measuring around the thickest part of the box or parcel. The combined measurements cannot exceed 130 inches.
