LOL! Proabably will, but what fun is a bb if you don't get yourself in hot water on occasion?
This came up on the current events forum when someone pointed out that being in favor of the war in Iraq doesn't mean they were pro-war and opposing it doesn't make them necessarily anti-war. They were just pro-operation-Iraqi-enduring-freedom or whatever we called it or anti-operation-Iraqi-enduring-freedom..... Makes for some long names....

Dan, you're all about semantics, aren't you? :) I think we need to come up with a nickname for you. Dan the Human Thesauras or something. :roll:

Guess I am into semantics because I had a background in linguistics. One of the area I am interested in is how words change over time and how different groups use of words to discuss a subject (especially if they do not agree with each other).
I do plan to get a graduate degree in Nursing Theasuras.

Rotate? Wow! A new concept in lingustics, semantic rotation :). Hmmm... probably someone can do a Ph.D. thesis on this one.
