My point is that there is an appropriate amount of information, and then there's an infodump to show how smart you are or to shut up people who disagree with you.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-18313911461392560962011-12-15T21:57:54.160+01:002011-12-15T21:57:54.160+01:00Greg's head is exploding from too much informa...Greg's head is exploding from too much information.<br /><br />We might actually force him to think!<br /><br />Nonsense, Greg, you are the one who is on about what a word meant when it first came into use.<br /><br />Anonymous wanted to use the word keep as an example.<br /><br />The fact that you are rather thick is only an aside, Greg.<br /><br />"Oh, Greggy, you're just sooooooooooooooo smart; you just make everbody else look like idjits.

It's a lot of information that doesn't really add to the discussion. Yes, someone commented in an earlier article about what the word "keep" means, but that comment was a bit of snark. In response, Laci has given us pages from the OED. The OED is a source for the use of a word over its published history. As such, it is a valuable tool for linguists and the like. For our purposes here, a condensed version would have sufficed.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-74710523635783884992011-12-15T21:22:18.160+01:002011-12-15T21:22:18.160+01:00Jim:
