Hi all,
Alan, you have it right, well said. You have to be political when
dealing with folks sometimes.
BTW, here's the answer to your spelling question.
>From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Recalcitrant \Re*cal"ci*trant\, a. [L. recalcitrans, p. pr. of
recalcitrare to kick back; pref. re- re- + calcitrare to
kick, fr. calx heel. Cf. {Inculcate}.]
Kicking back; recalcitrating; hence, showing repugnance or
opposition; refractory.
>From WordNet (r) 2.0 [wn]:
recalcitrant
adj 1: marked by stubborn resistance to and defiant of
authority or
guidance; "a recalcitrant teenager"; "everything
revolves around a refractory individual genius" [syn:
{refractory}]
