Re: Nat Geo Photographer Arrested for Kansas Feedlot Flyover
just because a supreme court judge stated there is no such word in the English language, does not make it true (i.e. appeal to authority, as if infallible) ... at least if we consider Webster as the authority on words. All I initially intended to do was provide a reference link ... whether or not one wants to acknowledge its existence as a word, I guess that\'s an individual prerogative.
So, who is correct, the judge, Webster or Garner? If those three can\'t agree, then I would hardly expect we would come to a consensus. Agree to disagree.
Something else to consider ... but, warning ... only if you are prone to Latin vs. English/German/French etymology of what is being suggested as true synonyms with/without distinction/difference. http://thecommonparlance.blogspot.com/2007/11/regardless-v-irrespective-regard-v.html
+1 @ trespassing relatively trivial by comparison to other issues.
