Since I've already done that in a previous post to you, I have a better idea. 
Why don't you grab a dictionary and look it up for yourself. I think the root 
of this problem is that everyone here who has chimed in on this topic with the 
exceptions of you and Jon seem to agree on the definitions and neither of you 
have been willing to check a bona fide resource like a simple dictionary. In 
fact Jon would like us to believe he knows more than Webster or the entire 
staff of Oxford University when it comes to defining words.

Understanding comes from a common ground and in this case it would seem to be 
the accredited definitions of certain words. Real understanding comes from a 
person's willingness to admit they might be wrong.

Regards,
Craig
