Thanks, that's a relief :-). But I must say that dictionaries confuse people then. Most of them, in addition to "shaped like a triangle", give definitions like "relating to, or involving three elements", "involving three persons, factions, units, or parts", "comprising three parts or elements; triple" and such. There was also an example of "triangular agreement", iirc. Anyway, if I understand you guys correctly, this is not common use of this word at all. So I was right to correct it, right :-)?
