[QUOTE="Jones, post: 771541, member: 4805"] I guess I would say that when you think someone is using a double standard by deliberately misinterpreting a definition, the thing to do is point that out and correct them. I know the temptation is always to jump on the first opportunity to use that same double standard against the originator(s), but ultimately when you do that you legitimatize the use of the double standard. Then it just becomes the standard and the correct meaning gets lost. Of course I'm the guy who still goes on a rant every time I see the word "tragedy" misused to mean "something bad" ( a daily occurrence)...... [/QUOTE]
