What does "ad" mean in tennis?
Ad is short for Advantage. Ad in would be advantage for the server, and ad out is advantage for the returner. Usually in tennis, when the score is 40-40(deuce) you will play with advantages. If at deuce and the server wins the next point, it would be ad in. If they win the point after that it would be game. If the server loses that point then it would go back to deuce. If the returner wins the next point, then it would be ad out. If the returner wins the next point it would be game. If the returner loses the point, it would go back to deuce. It game can go on and on where one player will have advantage, then go back to deuce, then advantage again, then go back to deuce. In no ad tennis, there is no advantage. So if it is 40-40(deuce), the person who wins the next point will win the game.
In tennis, what is ad in,and ad out?
Basically, once both players reach forty all or the highest amount of points before the end of the game it gets to deuce. Once there and you are playing ad's the person who scores will have the "advantage". But in order to win they need to score twice in a row. If the other person scores it goes back to advantage. =)
What does 'on an ad hoc basis' mean?
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ad+hoc The expression has more meanings than what the previous posters have mentioned. On the link I found, it sounds more like "spot work". Try this definition: http://www.accountingweb.co.uk/item/1770... Employment Agency If they are working on an "ad hoc basis", ie. they are offered work fairly randomly, so that there is no obligation for the client to offer them a certain number of hours per week/month, and the tutors have no obligation to take that work, then they will almost certainly not be employees of either the client or agency. There's another definition, it's called "contract labour" Means you're working for yourself... AKA "self-employed"
