Greetings

Oddly enough mousethief, I was originally responding to something that appeared as an attack on other people as well as myself. I was just pointing out that your statement appeared insulting to everyone who has posted on this list. Clearly, I'm not the only one who interpreted it that way, wrongly or no.

You also resorted to name calling, which is something I have not done or ever would do. I don't care that you did, but please note that to many people it appears as an immature act - of course you might be 12 years old, I don't know. In that case it could be understandable.

I will accept your praise for all of us that we are all experts on the use of hyperbole and non-literal writing. It's a good thing to know that you expect us all to understand everything you write. That's quite a compliment!

Now as to the meaning of the word PRIG: which definition are we all (excepting, of course, those not included in ALL)?

a thief?

a fellow, person? (archaic meaning)

a fop? (archaic as well)

one who irritates by observance of proprieties as of speech or manners to an obnoxious degree?

Just curious . . .
