Scaling, British English

Nor me. Scaling down the wall now .....

I, too, wouldn't say "scaling up the wall," just "scaling the wall."

I'd also say "scaling the fish," but that's a whole nother, uh, kettle of fish.

Yeah - correct grammar would be scaling the building. Not scaling up or down.

Now I understand why this place is so argumentative.

The grammar mavens here can never climb down.

This is starting to scale down a bit.

Reminds me of that English professor who died stranded on top of Mount Everest.
