Set and drift can be found using a navigation instrument such as a compass and comparing the actual direction of travel to the intended direction of travel. Set is the direction of drift due to currents or wind, while drift is the unintended sideways movement from the intended course. By comparing the heading of the vessel or aircraft with the actual track over the ground, you can calculate the set and drift.
Nautically, it's 'flat calm'.
Yes, "drift" can be a noun. It can refer to a gradual shifting or moving from an original position or course.
Story drift refers to the phenomenon where a project or initiative gradually veers off course from its original goals or intended direction. This deviation can occur due to various factors such as changing priorities, lack of communication, or shifting stakeholder expectations. It is important for project managers to monitor and address story drift to ensure the project stays on track.

Drift of course.
Alfred Wegner originally thought of the continental drift theory, but he wasn't believed when he presented it. After his death (of course) the theory was proved.
Of course you can! They are two different games!
That is a 'crosswind'.
A strategy.
Ballistic spin drift is the tendency of a spinning projectile (such as a bullet) to drift slightly to the side due to the gyroscopic effect created by its spin. This effect influences the trajectory of the projectile and can cause it to deviate from its intended path at longer ranges. Shooters need to account for ballistic spin drift when calculating their shots for increased accuracy.
