Happy Birthday

You then, when Roy uses a dictionary definition to point out that protege is a FRENCH word think that because that definition is in an English dictionary it somehow invalidates where the word protege comes from.

I simply claimed that using an English dictionary for a foreign definition is like asking a junior arsonist for lessons on fire safety.

I have been away for a bit but this caught my attention. I own a number of books about the Russian revolution of 1917. Are you suggesting that because they are written in English by English authors they are automatically incorrect?

I have English translations of a number of works by Trotsky and Lenin (I don't recommend them, it's incredibly dull and repetitive). Do they lose all of their original value by being translated into English?

I feel that weapons grade idiot still applies

That's actually a very good point, yes.
And again, no need to rub it in.

Then have you considered thinking before you type? It might help.

Thanks, Roy. This is the big one. 60. I'm officially older than my father was when he died. I think that makes me certifiably old.

Belated Happy Birthday to all the people whose birthdays I have missed whilst absent. I didn't realise that I could even log back in!

E.T. You are definitely old.

Well, you are exactly two weeks older than me, so I suppose you must be old, because I am.

Yeah, I'm pretty much the oldest person in every group I'm associated with. I never thought I'd last this long.

Happy birthday, Tig.

Thank you!

I've realised that I can't do arithmetic when it's the middle of the night - you are exactly three weeks older than I am!

Sigh.

Getting old comes with irritating deficits, but it still beats the alternative. I never thought I'd reach this age, either.

At least he didn't have to see Trump in the White House. Cheers, Rain.
