Post #179,720 by deSitter 10/18/04 11:57:03 AM Reply	Re: Christ you're so full of crap I'm sorry, this word is just horrible - as a verb it sounds horrible, the usage is horrible, it's just wrong. There is a reasonable use of the word in medical jargon, where it's an adjective meaning "in a chain". join, conjoined federate, confederated catenate, concatenated Get it now? -drl

Post #179,724 by admin 10/18/04 12:15:14 PM Reply	Re: Christ you're so full of crap The decline in civilization parallels that of language. So we've been declining since Middle English was in use? This horrible word is a neologism of illiterate computer "science". So they had computers back then too? Regardless of what your opinion of the word is, the fact remains that it's 1) completely proper to use and 2) not some word recently ginned up to take part in the "decline of civilization".

Post #179,730 by Another Scott 10/18/04 12:36:41 PM Reply	You've got a point. On top of your head. ;-) It's a 'sequence of your 'servative values, I'll bet. 'Sidering your taste in 'suming certain materials that have bad 'sequences for your health, I think it's understandable. You're a 'sumate poster here, at times, but in this case there's little doubt that you're 'fused. HTH. Cheers, Scott.
Post #179,736 by deSitter 10/18/04 1:04:13 PM Reply	Re: You've got a point. har, but notice the words you hacked: consequens - reall "com", an intensive prefix, and "sequens" so "to follow closely" or "to follow directly" conservare - really "com" and "servare", the latter meaning "to preserve" - so "to preserve intensely" consumare - really "com" and "sumere", "to take", so "to take completely" confusum - a morphing of "confundere", meaning "mixed together", so this is actually a self-standing word. In this sense "concatenate" might be thought to mean "totally bound up" - in any case it's a participle of "catenate". The actual act of chaining is "catenation". -drl
