SIR— Most Ugandans refer to a half-brother as a step-brother. So do almost all newspapers and FM Radios. Step brothers or step sisters have no blood relationship.
Half brothers or half sisters have blood relationships. They either have the same father but separate mothers, or have the same mother but separate fathers.
A step brother is one, for example, whose mother gets remarried to another man who also has a son from a previous marriage. These two boys are step brothers.
