I generally don't get involved in non-technical technical threads but
if I wanted to receive silly discussions about non-existent words, I'd
subscribe to some language and grammar list.

I agree and I wish that I hadn't gotten involved in this thread but
sometimes you have to object to the pollution that's being pushed into
your inbox... I have a few people in my kill file but if I added all
who participate in OT threads, I'd have to add, for example,
Christopher Chan, who posted earlier and I wouldn't want to do that.

I would have liked for the list "administrators", whom I cc'd earlier,
to post some kind of reminder to stick to the list rules the way that
Myriam does on kubuntu-users. :(
