Sorry, guys, I finally give up. I've got a headache.

I've been follow the discussions e.g. 'maximum number of vertices and surfaces per entity', but I have to admit that every time someone makes a statement regarding surfaces, and surfaces per entity, I'm confused again.

Could someone please write a short tutorial (please, not a one-liner) explaining exactly what you guys mean by polygons, faces, and surfaces (and, single-surface entities)? It's the difference which is confusing me. I understand vertices.

Thanks.
