I wouldn't advocate that Genealogy should be replaced by Geneology, but if it happens -as it may well do - the dictionaries will be altered to recognise it. Any study of language shows that this is exactly how words change and always have done. By common use. A Butterfly was once called a Flutterby - and yes, dictionaries ARE now showing the grocer's apostrophe as correct.

"If you are going to re-define the word (nobody else has), then do it"

Err - Jim, it's been done very nicely. And I've told you I accept it. Look again at Wikipedia.

Yes, it's a shame about the books, and about the correlation with folk art etc, but the Wiki does take that into account, and a link remains intact.

A minute, self-interest pressure group?

Jim, wake up and smell the coffee mate. If you'd written that in 1965 you'd have had a point, but you are simply wrong. Look again at the iTunes list. There is the proof that it's way past a minute self-interest group.

Do you know the town of Wells in England? It has wells in the middle of it. The wells gave the town its name. No-one complains that the town has houses and shops in it and isn't actually only some wells. Oh, and if you do want to find the wells, you have to follow the signposts to the Bishops Palace.

Sorry Jim that's all I can say.

I need to go change my strings
