Of course Mr Ed did. Don't you remember the theme song?

I suggest that the notion that the horse definitioners (by which I include Gg) have anything useful to say has been found wanting.

They have nothing to offer.

They have no coherent and relevant criticism of the 1954 definition.

On the one hand they pretend to be academic authors (academic authors who confuse "compliment" with "complement"!) - while on the other hand they sneer at pedantry.

Pip Radish: well spotted. I'm still waiting for him to revise his definition of diegesis.

Oh, and Gg "academically rigourous"? That one's a hoot. I teach at two universities. Put that in an assignment or exam I mark. Please.
