[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 87202, member: 4823"] Reduced from YELLING-sized type, and edited for length, Maybe the rest of us have also been saying what [U]we[/U] mean, not what our words (as commonly used in American English) mean to the reader/listener. If I call someone a "hypocrite" for applying one set of rules to their own words without making allowances for others to to the same, I may be complimenting that person on communication skills worthy of a high-priced attorney. May I suggest a "CurrentUPSer-English Dictionary" be provided for those who don't speak CurrentUPSer as a second language? Otherwise, it's all "gibberish". Or it might be "backpedaling in an attempt to save face", or "running in fear". [SIZE=1]Note: All terms mean exactly what I want them to mean. Any similarity to actual language, living or dead, is entirely coincidental. The reader will be held responsible for interpreting this post in an accurate manner. Any appearance of disparagement or denigration is in the eyes of the beholder, and that beholder shall be held responsible for any bad thoughts created by that beholder's interpretation of what is merely an assortment of letters, spaces and punctuation, arranged in a way that is attractive to the eye.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
