I think I'll bake something to celebrate this happy day with... Maybe something the name of which suggests that its circumference is divided by its diameter. I'd better mark it with an 'S' for the strawberries I'm going to put inside.
And happy weather day, August 1st 1861 was the day that the Times newspaper published the first weather forecast. Before this date we Brits were silent as we had nothing to talk about.

You are possibly inferring that. I did not imply it.
All elephants have four legs but an animal with four legs is not necessarily an elephant.

When you would say "I see an elephant and a four-legged animal walking in the street", then we are merely to understand that the four-legged animal is not necessarily an elephant?
And, specifically, that there is absolutely no hint on the number of legs of the elephant?
Substitute "emu" for "elephant" to see what I mean.
