[edit] Reference to Mormon culture

The Moisture article has intermittently contained an obscure reference to "Mormon culture":

“In Mormon culture, moisture describes any form of precipitation."

This reference should not be included, for the following reasons:

  • This is basically no more than an "inside joke" and is not of general interest.
  • Attributing the meaning to all of "Mormon culture" is a mistake, as the usage is regional--it is not found in the general Mormon population.
