Tom, I really didn't want to have to carry this on any longer than it needs to. I am not sure which bit of my original e-mail you didn't understand; I was commenting on the fact that *you* felt the need to correct *me* (incorrectly, ha ha) rather than the fact that *I* had to restrain myself from correcting *you*. I wouldn't have corrected you because there is nothing to dispute. 'Word is bond' makes perfect sense, though I must confess I am surprised that you do not object to the obvious grammatical error in such a phrase. Trying to reinforce your position by citing historical examples of it's use is irrelevant in this context. It is a false argument: You are attempting to discredit my position by showing evidence for your own. This is not a logical conclusion - there is no causal link between the two. You should debate more. I think you need the practise. As for inferring that I am ignorant (No, I am not saying you are calling me ignorant in case you do not grasp the concept of inference) on the basis of your argument; It seems like you are becoming irritated because I do not subscribe to your point of view. I believe a psychotherapist would see this as an indication that you feel an overwhelming need to be accepted. Were you not shown any love as a child? Would you like a hug? WORD IS BORN! N P.S: Tom: In the words of Radiohead: You do it to yourself, you do, and that's what really hurts. > On 12/10/06, Nik Stoltzman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Tom can say 'word is bond'.
