Well, but standard definitions are how human beings communicate with each
other. I don't think there's anything "purist" in expecting that most of us
are going to be using words to mean roughly the same things.
By the way, Steve, I think you're being a shithead. Now, I'm not using the
standard definition of "shithead" when I say that, so feel free to guess at
what I really mean. (Get my point?)
