Comments:
<0> suna: H = hemtodinase or something
<1> bmc: right, and as such, is not a word.
<2> And thats how they make it into the dictionary
<3> or Espectro mail
<2> Some words the meanings are changed completely
<4> From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]: e-mail {electronic mail}
<0> suna: they are two enzymes that allow the virus to attach to a host cell, and then break the attachment after replication and release
<5> why not just say "bird flu" rather than H5N1 which no one knows?
<4> there are diff bird flus
<2> like I am sure the term Neo-con has a brand new meaning very different than its meaning 15 years ago.
<2> BillFrugg, Limited topic space
<4> avian flu (H5N1) im guessing, is the one we worry about
<4> a particular strain
<6> I ain't worried about it
<1> hell, probably billions of different avian flu combinations
<2> and everyone who watches news knows what the H%N1 virus is
<5> bird flu is where you have an irresistable urge to poop on cars
<7> words like cooperate often had hyphens early in their usage but haven't had them for generations
<7> the hyphen should not be an issue
<8> FreeMrkts: I'm well aware how words become words. Nevertheless, you said 'viruses' was slang/poor english, when in fact, the word is *more* correct than virii, per medical and professional literature.
<0> Neuraminidase Inhibitors (Zanamivir, Oseltamivir)
<6> gonna shoot some bird flus?
<1> naw, evil paper and steel ;-)
<9> Wachowski brothers new movie -V for Vendetta- looks like it's going to be a good movie :)
<0> The H1N2 virus is not very different from the currently circulating influenza viruses. The H1 protein of the H1N2 virus is like the H1 protein of the currently circulating H1N1 viruses and the N2 protein is similar to the N2 protein in the currently circulating H3N2 viruses. The difference is that we don't commonly see the H1 and N2 proteins on the same virus. There has been no unusual increase in disease ***ociated with this virus, and persons i
<2> Falllout if so its my age, because it was not so when I grew up and into my 20s and so on.
<6> Nemes, is it about the Bush's and Clinton's?
<9> no
<9> its a futuristic 1986 in england type movie were the people revolt agaisnt a tyranical oppresive gov
<0> Because the H1N2 virus has the hemagglutinin of the currently circulating H1N1 virus and the neuraminidase of the currently circulating H3N2 virus, most people will have been exposed to and have antibodies against these viruses.
<0> H = Hemaglutinin
<4> * From Latin irregulars: callus/-uses, octopus/-uses, platypus/-uses, AND, DRUM ROLL PLEASE.... virus/-uses (virii is incorrect, even in Latin)
<1> bmc: email is incorrect in latin as well
<4> email is a word though
<10> email is a new word
<10> virus isnt
<1> not any more than virii
<0> FreeMrkts: see PM
<1> virii has been around and used far longer than email has
<4> email is defined in the english language
<4> virii isnt defined as a word anywhere
<10> didnt we settle that virii is incorrect
<4> by any language
<5> What do Jimmy Carter and George Bush have in common? Both have a brother named Billy
<1> bmc: correction, a few stodgy old farts who do dictionary put it in there
<2> Ok I am wrong..
<11> The plural virii, though common, is generally considered to be incorrect, and based on a misunderstanding of Latin. There is no plural for the Latin word virus; using the native English pluralisation rules, to yield viruses, would arguably then be most correct.
<2> where did I pick that up
<4> its not in the dictionary
<2> I piced it up in my youth around 30 years ago
<2> why did it stick with me
<1> bmc: some of us do not believe reality is defined by a handful of people who pick and choose which they wish to accept and which they do not. especially when they have no consistency
<0> FreeMrkts: please see PM
<4> thats how you define language
<1> FM: it no less made up than blog is
<0> why is FreeTrade spamming me?
<4> if you want to use your own unique language, have fun communicating with everyone else
<1> bmc: no, that is not how you define language.
<10> why is Lupine|: always arguing against facts
<4> language is defined by accepted usage
<4> nobody is accepting virii as a word
<1> a few old geezers in a circle jerk is not how you define language. you look at how *society* uses it.
<0> language is defined by a committee
<12> Lithium- no he not
<4> as its not being defined
<12> Lithium- what facts
<5> Lupine, that is a circle jerk...
<1> OcDoc: right, not by a tiny little group of old geezers pouring over dusty old books.
<12> Lupine| I agree
<6> bmc, are you saying "octopuses" is a proper latin word?
<12> Lupine| and they change so offten
<0> it's a constant tension between actual use and "accepted" use
<12> when they get bored
<0> Lupine: poring?
<4> i dont know latin grammar rules
<1> pouring
<12> OcDoc not sure, it society use that is what we need be using
<3> ii is the established extension
<12> if you can't speak to society, then your doing something wrong
<3> don't expect to change it
<6> bmc, neither viruses or octopuses are latin words
<1> i bet they look for the value of pi in teh dictionary
<0> Lupine: check it ... I think you will find it is "poring over obscure books"
<3> genius you may be
<12> if you can't speak in laymen terms, then your lost your audince, unless your audince is professor from columbia
<12> or circle jerks
<1> virii is a layment term
<2> Ok, Im wrong, I just dont can not figure out where I got that, its also not an uncommon mistake. So what happened a high school textbook made a mistake ? A college health cl*** ? I dont know.;
<1> laymen
<5> society can't change how the language was derived
<2> Ive been using it wrong now for a long time.
<10> gopp: maybe in hickville, usa. everywhere else there are intelligent people
<1> Freemarket: it is well used in society. Far longer than "email" or "blog" has been.
<12> Lithium- prove it
<3> professors from colubia are gay
<2> Lupine, Virii ?
<2> I did get one hit to a webmd site on it.
<10> prove what
<13> what happened to FreeTrade
<0> it is helpful to society in my opinion to have a "dictionary" to keep us on track and PREVENT miscommunication through improper use
<1> well, time to blow up some german scum
<1> OcDoc: if we had that, we couldn't use "email" or "blog" or "internet"
<14> Clinton had Milesovic killed so he wouldnt have to testify
<14> haha
<4> email is in dictionary
<1> society makes up words as needed. Whether or not some old geezers accept it, is irrelevent.
<0> the dictionary is a conservative measure to prevent misuse, and must change periodically to account for shifts in generally accepted meanings
<2> OcDoc, but the dictionary should also adapt to changing usage, but should remember its archaic uses to avoid confusion
<4> and internet
<3> lupin is likely deciding which dumpster to sleep behind that is least likeely tto geet him arrested
<4> not sure about blog
<1> bmc: you see the tree, but not the forest. They were being used long before some old geezers "accepted it".
<0> Free: yes
<4> doesnt matter what someone uses
<1> dictionarys "accept" words capriciously..
<4> that doesnt make it a word
<12> Lupine| that correct
<0> Free: kind of like the natural tension between political conservatives and political liberals
<12> Lupine| like rollerbaldes
<0> both are important
<4> its when its accepted collectively
<1> bmc: ah, so email was NOT a word, and totally wrong to use.. until the OED added it?
<0> neither rules
<12> Lupine| the term rollerblades is used more offten then inline skates
<4> then you are communicating
<2> Example: Neo-con: A conservative who Liberals hate and a perjorative. Archaic A more liberal conservative, esp with respect to isolationism and xenophobia.
<1> bmc: right.. accepted collectively. not accepted by a few old geezers at dictionary.com
<2> Because 15 years ago neon con meant the 2nd definition
<4> Lupine| when 2 people use it exclusively, it has no meaning to anyone else
<12> Lupine| people use the term rollerblades, not inlineskates, but some geezer would say it inlineskates
<2> today it means something incomprehensible.
<12> bmc two people
<4> we can all make up "words"
<12> no the gernal population
<2> Other than an emotional term really
<4> but they arent part of any language
<12> bmc the gernal population, don't see like ***holes from havard
<2> Hes a neocon, Similar to : he is evil
<12> see or speak
<15> sapiency
<2> He is madd
<15> unstow
<15> wantingly
<2> Dangerous
<2> Villanous
<1> dictionaries often have political ideology.
<12> Lupine| yepe
