We're debating over the meaning of a word. A pretty important word - and since when could you just disregard the meaning of words in the dictionary in favour of your own definition? :-D What about "gravity", or "light"? Then again since US foreign policy doesn't seem to recognise "neutral" anymore then maybe this redefinition of words is the start of a trend! :-) (j/k - tongue in cheek at that last part!)

Seriously though - definitions can't just be ignored when they're inconvenient. I know this is a minor thing to argue about but by God I will argue it. Words define the world we live in - you can't just switch them on and off when you like.
