Les expressions «écart large» et «pierre trop large» ne sont pas, selon la rigueur de la langue française, des synonymes absolus : la première fait allusion à la distance entre le point d'immobilisation de la pierre lancée et le point cible indiqué par le skip; la seconde, à la position de la pierre lancée une fois immobilisée. Cependant les deux ont en commun de se rapporter à un lancer trop à l'extérieur de la cible. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9cart%20large
