How nice! Another Aggie! If you are not willing to learn the
terminology used in discussing a topic, you have no business
discussing that topic.

I missed this bit. I don't know Aggie. Remember, this is not a
politics group. If I want to learn about politics I will go
elsewhere. I even know a Dr Lawler who teaches politics at
university. On linguistic matters, I am willing to learn from this
group. There are some posters that I respect highly and I am happy to
learn from. Nathan is an example.

.You may want to teach your
very pedantic interpretation but I don't necessarily want to learn
it. I am aware of the history but I am also aware of current usage.

Irrelevant to the meanings of the words when applied to the form of
government of the United States of America.

So, we have to use a special set of terminology to discuss the USA?
This would seem to render a comparison with other countries
impossibe.

Have you noticed the pro-democracy protests in Myanmar? What do you
think they are campaigning for? Democracy according to your or my
usage?
