	I try to stay close to the dictionary definition   ---   going by common usage causes
confusion.

	It never ceases to amaze me at how many want to throw out the dictionary definitions, and
most of them are University Professors.   For me, the dictionary brings clarity and
dispels the myths of the  *streets*   ---   others don't seem to want to accept that!
