Quoth Brian Holtz: > TK) Merriam-Webster DOES reflect the governmental context of the word > "censor." Your "second-tier" designated American Heritage Dictionary also > reflects that context. (TK > > Non-responsive. Your claim above stands refuted.
Far, far, from it. The ACTUAL entry, as opposed to your context-stripped excerpt, includes no fewer than four references to the governmental origin and meaning of the term -- two to "officials" and two to "magistrates" -- http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/censor We can play "make Brian Holtz look petty, trite and deceptive" all day if you like. I prefer other games, but this is your sandbox. Best regards, Tom Knapp
