    I bow to your expertise on the terminology. The reason I don't think it's a topic for the lounge is that it's a one that can quickly degenerate beyond what is acceptable here. The soapbox is the perfect place for us to riff on these priests, not the lounge. And I stand by my main point that it has absolutely sod all to do with the topic at hand.

      "Six Italian scientists and an ex-government official have been sentenced to six years in prison over the 2009 deadly earthquake in L'Aquila. A regional court found them guilty of multiple manslaughter" :wtf: They should have put to trial all the engineers and building contractor who did not do their jobs of designing and building that can withstand earthquakes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20025626[^]

        Meanwhile you start a UK vs. US spelling debate? Please, now that is the new Godwin's Law.

        It had nothing to do with a UK v US spelling - pedo means foot to me (as in pedometer), but that's probably prevalent with me being a Talipes sufferer. And it would be a greek spelling debate if you want to get technical because pedo is derived from greek in both of those cases.

          Agreed. Perhaps you're right that such topic belong in the SB.

          Agreed. BTW, and OT: I like that phrase. I'll be adopting it.

            You can't let it go? It is just another UK vs. US spelling debate. You're wrong anyways, ped means child in Greek, as in pediatrician. pedo means ground or soil in Greek (not the root of what we are talking about). ped as in foot comes from Latin ped, for foot.

                          Given that I was having operations to have my feet straightened, I find that in a little bad taste.

                                      This whole sordid scandal just gets worse. Are there no depths of depravity they wouldn't stoop to?

                                        Hard to say. They are not known for discretion. :^)

                                          No. It involves removing it from the arse of people who think they're funny. ;P

                                          Close enough Pete! If you could only get close enough to that destination you mentioned. I mean on your feet! :P (I'll forfeit any responses from here on as I feel that I've already taken this too far. So many ill meaning retorts unsaid . . have to refrain . . must cope with failing to not appearing to be complete bunghole) :)
