in reply to Ternary operator (there's no Trinary operator )
So if my toddler (would that I were still of an age to have cookie-crumblers and rug-rats) calls the kitten "Dawg," does that make references to felines as "canines" correct?
I think NOT!
</grin>Time and cultural changes encourage shifts and changes in language, but usages which obfuscate meaning (or distinctions among meanings) impoverish our ability to be precise.
