Ahh, but over time o dweller of the rocky apertures, as common useage increases and spreads, the definition *will* change. That's how new words come about and find themselves in dictionaries. There isn't a nice man behind a big desk at Websters making up new words and scribbling them down - they take years to form, become part of a common useage, and eventually get included after teams of researchers do their thing. Similarly, definitions do get ammended. the key is common useage. There is a crossover period - quite lengthy - when both (or even several) definitions are correct. We are in effect all right about the word photograph :-) Kindest regards, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk
