If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that persondie?

"I" KNOW what "memorization" means - I was using it in the "SLANG" sense that YOU all are arguing about - memorizing something for just a few moments of need as opposed to a "lifetime". There ARE "SLANG" uses for popular words which do NOT coincide necessarily with Webster. Sorry, my unabridged dictionary doesn't acknowledge a slang definition for "memorize" as it certainly does for other words used as slang. You really need to find another word to use to define your concept. You seem to be talking about temporary storage, the exact opposite of memorizing. Working smarter - not harder - is a good concept - but I DO NOT THINK ... :-) -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

Again, it was not "MY" argument here - splitting hairs. AND as for thinking, I think you ought to go back a couple days or better and reread the threads. Unlike some in this ridiculous argument, I DO think.. I THINK IT IS CRAZY. Don't you all have something better to do? I don't care what "YOUR" dictionary shows. There are some out there for example which show the word COCK for example - as a type of Bird OR the preparing of a rifle or gun for firing and leave it at that - while a "few" others will show the "Slang" term used - as many do - meaning sexual organ. SO - ALL DICTIONARYS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL. What may not show up in YOUR dictionary as slang - may certainly - in others. AND perhaps it was a "misuse" of the word "Memorize" - I was merely trying to rationalize where you AND AL Klein both were coming from. Now, neither one of you make any sense - he argues against memory and you against having to do any work. MANY people "misuse" words - very much and very badly. MY (mis)use was ONLY intended for the sake of this STUPID argument. Lou |

SO - ALL DICTIONARYS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL. From my dictionary: "cock - 5. Slang (vulgar) a. penis. b. sexual relations with a man." Seems my 2230 page unabridged dictionary covers slang very well but does not have a slang definition for "memorize". Please try again. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp |

"I" again STATE - "I" DID NOT START the "hair splitting" argument. I was merely trying to rationalize where BOTH of you were coming from and sadly neither of you know yourselves. AGAIN I SAY - THIS WHOLE FREAKING ARGUMENT IS - STUPID. L. |
