  • In these examples, offload is used to distinguish the action taken from the more commonly used disembark. Onload appears in the case(s) you mention to distinguish the action taken from the more commonly used disembark.

    Disembark is the normal word used for people getting off a conveyance (originally ships, but extended to airplanes, trains, buses etc.) but using disembark is a little bit ambiguous.

    Jane Doe was disembarked from the 9am flight this morning

    Jane Doe was offloaded from the 9am flight this morning

    Both mean the same thing, but as it’s normal for people to be disembarked in a non-forceful way, using offloaded for a passenger makes it clear that the disembarkation was against her will rather than the normal procedure.

    OED does mention that off-load has been used for people, and is not a valid test.

    Off-load: cdi versus org. S. Africa (after du afladen) trans.
    To unload. To hold. Also transf. or by phone AFOR :-/. fig. , to dispose of, get rid of., to relieve oneself of (a person or something) Hence off-loading your vbl. n. m.l. m.o.m., i.e., mbl. n.k. m.s.b.. & n. Also ppl. a.

    1952 C Day Lewis tr. According to Virgil, Aeneid was in a perversion. He had all the powers to be given to God through the lord. 113 They enrolled the women for the colony, off-loaded the men who wanted To stay there.

    In addition to the correct answers given already it might be worthwhile seeing an example of padding out string, in a database context.

    A variable length string, defined as VARCHAR(10) and populated with Italy would return a string of length 5 containing the characters I T A LY. When treated as an array variable length string would be char A

    fixed length string would return a string of length 10 containing the letters I T A L Y _ _ _ _ (where on Stackechange I need to use '_' to denote a space) If an array are treated as strings, the fixed length string would be char.

    With data like COLUMBIA the variable length string would be C O L O M B I A and the fixed length string would be C O L O M B I A. _ The

    fixed length string has been padded out with spaces at the end to ensure that it always takes up the defined number, in this case 10, of characters.

    Many database will allow you to use a function to remove padding spaces. Whether it is to remove padding spaces or not, how do you remove padding spaces?

    In both cases the maximum number of characters is adhered to so UNITED KINGDOM would be saved as U N I T E D ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ VARCHAR(max) or similar allows almost any size variable length string to be stored without truncation.

    What is a sentence fragment?

    The We made it one.

    What do you know that we don’t?

    Is a sentence. Is its word for an event?

    I know what you don’t know, so when I’ll go over things I know I’ll probably skip it.

    Is a sentence.

    Why I don’t know what you don’t know

    I is a fragment (because) nowhere in the sentence is Because explained.

    I’m sure there’s more complicated terminology.
