This was never about dictionaries or the r-word.

That was always a justification.

Sorry, you don't understand how comment threads work. They are structured like a tree so people can fork off a part of the conversation (if self contained) and discuss that. I chose to discuss the premise that being in the dictionary makes something ok. If I am discerning the premise wrong, or if its not self contained you can point out the connection with the rest of the context.

I do understand. It's that you are basically going off on a pointless tangent.

It's like someone yells "Teh skie is falling". And you are correcting grammar errors. While comets rain down.

.... that is the whole point of a thread.
