I am not going to take part in your silly little games, picking individual words to try to create a invidious scenario where you can be the "winner"

I'm really not interested in attempting to have a discussion at such a puerile level when life is so short and there are so many wonderful things to discover.

I would suggest, albeit in a vain hope, that you might try to read a book about the subject. I would recommend you attempt to read Tin Pat Coogans "The Famine Plot". I read it a few weeks ago and it is fascinating and horrific at the same time.

You could also try Kathleen Villiers Tuthill book "Patient Endurance" which looks specifically at the famine on the Connemara, again a fascinating book.

........ If you be bothered to read one.
