unrelated diatribe snipped

Sorry dude, we don't care about your political rants here. Doing a
google search I see that you infect many a group with your trolling,
but only if your rants are addressed...

I apologize to the people of this forum. I did not mean to start an off topic
thread, I meant only to comment on my perspective on dealing with trolls and
people who are obnoxious in general.

I will post no more on this topic.

FYI, Paul, the word "cite" is a verb. The word you are so desperately
searching for is "citation"

Most lexicographers are of the descriptive school.

When someone uses the word "most" as an adjective, I immediately become
suspicious of how much accuracy they require of their posts....

Ah, I see my error; I was pitching it at the wrong level.
I'll try again.

"Lexicographer" means someone who compiles dictionaries.
One of the most reputable is the OED.

You will find the meaning you are looking for in this dictionary,
certainly, for "most"

The "New Century" is also warmly held.
Give 'er a go, Blue!

I can see your words, but I can not hear them...


Words are identifiers for specific (or not) ideas.


Other than that....
