- Half-mast should be for naval connotations and half-staff for non-naval connotations, at least in the USA.
- Definitely half-mast in the UK. To the point that someone showing a lot of sock has historically drawn comments of "Who's died?" which is then clarified by explaining that their trousers appear to be at half-mast. YorkshirePudding (talk) 21:59, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
