Just to be clear, I was just trying to get samurai to think about it (no offense intended).

Bah, having definitions that are widely accepted only stiffles free thinking.

No worry, I don't take offense.

But while that's a noble goal (getting s to think about it) I imagine it will prove futile.

Perfect example! Because you are restricting yourself to dogmatic definitions, you are incapable of freeing yourself from the restrictive limits that mere reality imposes. In fact, your use of ‘correct' English is contraindicated by the interconductivity of awareness flux that pulses through the inverse.

Sorry, I am not very good at this. Perhaps samurai can take over.
