I've also done that when I've needed the same calculation in multiple dictionaries, but wanted to maintain it in one place. Call it Code Reuse. You might need to be careful when recompiling dictionaries, though. --- Benton doesn't like VOC R-items if the file referenced in line 2 is a Q-pointer. Needs to be an F-pointer. Maybe that's corrected in a version later than mine. --- I remember as a kid, first encountering "(sic)" in a newspaper, where the paper was quoting someone's poor grammar. I thought it was an editorial comment by the reporter saying he was disgusted by the poor grammar, meaning "that's just sick!" e.g. = exempli gratia (Latin), for the sake of example. i.e. = id est (Latin), that is. I often see people mistakenly use those two interchangeable. Mnemonic device: think "Egzample". The two periods are proper; i.e., do not write "eg." or "ie.". I had never heard "backronym" before. I like it. And we all know the difference between acronyms and abbreviations, don't we?
