I have no intention of even trying to change anything, Dick. As I have repeatedly said I accept that words are misused. Nor have I ever said I disapprove. Language is a wonderful fluid thing that changes constantly. The point that I keep making and that you don't seem to understand is that I have no other word for how I feel about the country. For the third time of asking, please feel free to give me a word, other than patriotism, that means the love of one's country that is neither exclusive or supremacist and I will happily use it. Until then, I shall continue to use patriotism in the way I learnt it. If you feel that is old fashioned or "charming" then fine. You are just as entitled to your opinion of me as I am to my opinion of you.
