My sincerest apologies for the mis-posting, but what I have said about Moore still goes. Same as to Roberts.
As to any use of the dictionary, Tenn, Let me assure you that I very seldom have recourse to that aid. You, like all too many vocabulary-compromised people on these forums, cavalierly assume that anyone whose vocabulary exceeds your meager one must stay glued to a dictionary to dredge up new words with which to attempt to impress others. The problem is one of your limitations, not of my capabilities.
There, do you feel better now Oh Holy One.

Why in the h*** should I have to press "1" for English? [QUOTE]
ferrellj, to simply post a definition by no means demonstrates in the least its applicability to the object of your scorn. Your polemic insufficiency is the only thing demonstrated by such an ineffectual tactic.
What IS demonstrated in the last line of your post, your favorite, ever present tag line ("Why in the h*** should I have to press "1" for English?") is a choice of wording that seems way out of character with your self-assumed role as a judge of Christian character. What would Jesus say?
