I suppose you have a cite for that.


My unabridged copy of the OED...would that do?

Evidently that never made it online. You must have a special copy


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.

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.
