My Oxford dictionary defines "Civilian" as: "not in or of navy or army or air force or police." A rather unique definition. Defining something not by what it is, but rather by what it is not. I only know of one other group of people that have been defined in this manner. Thanks for the explanation though. William Robb > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
