Tsk, tsk Volgadon. Tell you what. I'll do a deal. You send me a book on grammer and I'll send you a book on internet smileys. I thought the 'ta-da!' at the end of my 'logic argument' was enough to show it was intended to be humourous but surely the ':D' should have given it away! As to your comment about anti-semitic, well, here is what the Meriam-Webster dictionary has to say -

Main Entry: Sem·ite
Pronunciation: \ˈse-ˌmît, especially British ˈsç-ˌmît\
Function: noun
Etymology: French sémite, from Sem Shem, from Late Latin, from Greek Sçm, from Hebrew Shçm
Date: 1848
1 a: a member of any of a number of peoples of ancient southwestern Asia including the Akkadians, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Arabs b: a descendant of these peoples
2: a member of a modern people speaking a Semitic language

Main Entry: 1Se·mit·ic   
Pronunciation: \sə-ˈmi-tik also -ˈme-\
Function: adjective
Etymology: German semitisch, from Semit, Semite Semite, probably from New Latin Semita, from Late Latin Sem Shem
Date: 1813
1 : of, relating to, or constituting a subfamily of the Afro-Asiatic language family that includes Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, and Amharic
2 : of, relating to, or characteristic of the Semites
3 : jewish

So, yes, anti-semitic may have been changed to be specificaly anti- Jewish but it is still incorrect usage of the term. If people mean anti-Jewish then why not say anti-Jewish?

Cheers
