Dixie Chicks withdraw apology to Bush

I think I have stumbled onto the solution of the problem:

Quote:

Check Page 350 of "The Random House Dictionary of the English Language"- Collge Edition- Random House- New York--1968

Please note the year of publication, kiddos, he is using a reference book that is so out of date the word 'computer' is probably defined as a machine useful in performing mathematical calculation.

There has been much changed, BernardO er R, starting in 1968 with this:

Try to keep up.

There hasn't been a use of deja vu as "Already seen; unoriginal; trite" since 1969, unless you can come up with one. Things change, so do the definition and use of words.

"Okay Mr. Peabody"

We should make a list of the words that aren't in the 1968 dictionary.

I'll go first:

"cellphone"
"Paramedic"
"Paralegal"

hmmmm

Cable television
GPS tracking
Floppy disc or floppy disk

unleaded gasoline
Organic Farming

smart bomb and boombox (might be on thin ice here) hee hee

Watergate (not the hotel)

Digital recording
compact disc

and the number one word or phrase not found in the 1968 dictionary

Rap

Upon viewing your comment, Mr.Dlowan,I immediately called the Random House Publishers. They agreed that the Dictionary was indeed an old one but they insisted that it was still usuable in most cases.

I am indeed sorry that I caused you to become so concerned. I fear that for some reason, you have overreacted.

Why would that be?

Dictionaries, Schmictionaries. The point is that the Dixie Chicks are kicking BUTT with their new album and the detractors who had them out of the music business are revealed as charlatans.

Go Chicks! Very Happy

after reading someones remark on an internet chat forum you took the trouble to make a long distance call to a publisher so you could come back and crow about it?

And dlowna overreacted? Are you shitting me?

Did you find the word "Shitting" in the Dictionary? I don't have that word in my dictionary. Perhaps my dictionary is too old.

Thank You, Momma Angel. Now I must re-read the chapter in Steven Pinker's classic- "The Blank Slate"-- Chapter 18 on "gender" Pinker has quite a few interesting insights in that chapter!

of course if you are understandably reticent about revealing your real name or location I will supply this from the CURRENT miriam webster dictionary. Current= something written since Nixon was president. Now, take this word and add an ing... that will make it an adverb... let me know if you need anymore help. I am , as always, at the ready to be of assistance. Very Happy

I am of the opinion that anyone who must utilize the verbiage "Shitting" in his or her posts may have a familial problem akin to mental retardation.
Sometimes it affects those who have psychological problems such as bi-polar disorders. Those people are to be pitied since they sometimes don't know if they are coming or going!
