Re: [Jgeneral] Pronoun and proverb?

[Don Guinn]

The word "proverb" is a logical combination of "pro" and "verb" which has
taken on a meaning far beyond its parts. I think that the use of "proverb"
here is intended to its constructed meaning and not what has been added
through use. Years ago when I first saw an ad for "organic food" I remarked
to my wife, "It's all organic!" She patiently explained to me what "organic"
meant in the ad.
