Whoops.
Nothing to see here; carry on.

Still no reference to the word bonnie spelled out in any dictionary....
anywhere so far...
The fact that Don spelled the word "young-uns" instead of spelling it
"younguns" or "young'uns" or "young uns" is neither here nor there, Mr.
Barely Completed High School. The word is a colloquialism, and there are
several variations of its spelling in the more extensive dictionaries.
For these kinds of words, virtually any and all spellings
are "correct."
It's kind of funny that you and the other barely edu-ma-cateds are
making an issue out of it. The last time I was in North Carolina, I
overheard a conversation in which the words "us'ns, we'uns you uns," s
were used. Or is it "us uns, you uns, we uns"? I didn't ask the folks
using the phrases how they spelled those words.
Now, what are you going to do about your serious issues, such as your
psychoses?
Cite?
Cite what? Snotty's psychoses? They're self-evident.
You said there were several variations of it's spelling in the more
extensive dictionaries. Prove it.
I provided a cite yesterday. One is all you get. If you want more, look
them up yourself.
Uh, no you haven't.
A cite is nothing more than a quoted reference. Therefore, I provited a
cite. What you are asking for, I believe, is a URL. That's not the same
as a cite.
Yours for more careful usage...
Me.
Cite is short for citation and as such a proper citation has all
available data.
Oh, please...play your word games with one of your moronic buddies here,
not with me. The word has any number of meanings, including this one
dating back to 1548 from the unabridged OED, which is the dictionary I use:
4.4 . A passage cited, a quotation.
1548 Udall, etc. Erasm. Par. Matt. i. 19 These two citations here
ensuyng. 1692 Bentley Boyle Lect. ii. 41 Philosophers did frequently
adorn and confirm their discourses by citations out of poets. 1875
Jowett Plato (ed. 2) I. 119 Virtue?cannot be taught by rhetorical
discourses or citations from the poets. 1883 Gladstone in Times 9
June, The noble lord has given us citations of what purported to be
telegrams.
You fool, in this context, it is indeed short for citation. But again,
just where is that URL?
