Purism is as damaging to music as > Patriotism is to the human race... Well, but standard definitions are how human beings communicate with each other. I don't think there's anything "purist" in expecting that most of us are going to be using words to mean roughly the same things. By the way, Steve, I think you're being a shithead. Now, I'm not using the standard definition of "shithead" when I say that, so feel free to guess at what I really mean.
