I have no idea. I just know it was an argument. Knowing Eric, it could have
been that he was aware of it, but just disagreed with its usage because it
was not an "official" term? I just looked and even in Rev's latest
dictionary it is only used twice and in neither case itself defined.

Eric was too polite to "school" people on a list. So not having to be polite
with me, maybe I was just his opportunity to air a pet peeve. ;-)
