There are lots of reference books and materials that "never made it
online," but the OED is not one of them. It's available online. But I
have my own copy of the OED and have had it for 20+ years, at least.

I gave my OED to the kids but since none of us were alive in the 14th
century go ahead and admit you were just trying to insult the people
who served their country and move on.
It is best that you did hide in college until they forgot about you
because we had no need for an effeminate elitist like you defending
our country. They would have cashiered you out with a GD pretty
quickly anyway. It was how they dealt with useless people in the late
60s and early 70s.



You gave a 20-volume set of the OED to your kids, eh? I sort of
inherited mine, and also have the 20 volumes on a DVD set of two discs.

Your claim that I was trying to insult anyone by use of the word "navee"
is just more of your badly educated nonsense.

The rest of your post is just your usual anti-intellectual nonsense.


Harry, being the literary genius that you are, I am sure you realize
that there are many words and versions thereof in the English language
that have died in terms of common usage. They only remain in a
historical context. The fact that you like to show off using "dead"
words doesn't make them correct usage.




Who decides "correct" usage? You? :)

There are plenty of us who will not descend into your president-elect's
world of twitter-talk.


I think you would be great tweeting, on a par with the Donald anyway.
Your mutual goal is to insult as many people as possible in 140 words or
less.

Looks llike Piers is on a roll.

I am sure the fair doctor would call it the opposite type of complex

Yes, I was disappointed I couldn't force myself to be an administrative

morally corrupt big bank. You know, like you.

Never did any of that of course, neither did anyone that I know. Given
your disdain for the financial world I'd suggest that you sever all
ties with banks, brokerages, mortgage lenders, credit card companies,
etc. With your abysmal credit history it's unlikely that any would
want you in the first place.

Does that include cash too? Those are Federal Reserve Notes. Isn't the Federal Reserve a "bank" that's run by "banksters?"

Harry with your attitude towards banksters you need to get rid of your cash now.

Well, maybe I shouldn't have snerked when compassion and empathy is called for.

There are a couple of old sayings that may apply here. One is, "When
you don't have anything good to say, better to say nothing at all".
Another, "Better to remain silent and be thought stupid, than to open
your mouth and remove all doubt".

The one I had was a 4" thick book like you would find in the library.

Your claim that I was trying to insult anyone by use of the word "navee"
is just more of your badly educated nonsense.

The context of the use of the word says it all. You were trying to
insult veterans. Your disdain of the people who serve is very clear
from what you say here. You enjoy the freedom the military has given
you but you feel no obligation to participate or even to recognize
their sacrifice. It is just a joke to you.



Why would using an archaic spelling of a fairly neutral word be insulting?


I guess you did not really pay attention in university.


I suppose I missed the class on the insulting usage of archaic spelling.


Among other classes you missed.
