It was to this I referred with the text (which you didn't include in your citation): When I realized that he'd countered my dictionary citation with some referenced scripture...well, there's little point to this. You'd do as well to cite a Spanish dictionary for the definition of an English word. It's about as meaninful. !! The first dictionaries *were* descriptions of the meanings of foreign words. Are you even aware what a modern dictionary is and how it's compiled? Beside the point. You're moving the goalposts, and committing ad hominem: "He used a 'scripture' so therefore can't be relied upon." It's not reasonable. Rob
