But don't let me stop you making an ass of yourself.
Thanks, Trollheart. I studied writing and rhetoric in college. I find analogy and example to be better tools of persuasion than simple recitation of facts, which while important, seem to count for less these days. It's all about trying to shift someone's perspective, even if only for the space of a post on MB. |
I am afraid that your assertion that "the dictionaries disagree with your assertion" is wrong, because the dictionary only reiterates my assertion that "myopia" is a condition of the eye.
