C++ is another language, found down the hall to the right.

Please get some info before riding your big horse... This software works
with K&R C, ISO C and C++...

RJH's point was that in UK English, the word for that is "housetrain"
whereas housebreaking is burglary.

So what? We don't speak strict U.K. English in here (even if there
were such a thing). The reason why we use English in here at all
(although other languages are not "forbidden" they just limit one's
chances of getting a useful reply) is that the majority of people
in here speak English. And I would hazard a guess that the majority
of English speakers in here are from the U.S. where the term
"housebreak" is understood to be what the OP meant.

I wuz only arrrsking, yeronner - I didn't realise I'd be starting a Spanish
Inquisition.

I just use Reply/Post ***before typing anything***, google then states
that the body of my message must contain some text and handily
puts the correctly quoted text of the message being replied to. Just
two key strokes. Does this not work for some people?

I just tried it, and it seems to work. No, I didn't know about it
before (but then I don't post through Google).

But there is a bit of a risk. If you type just a single character,
say, by accidentally hitting the spacebar, it will go ahead and post
your nearly empty article. (I think I just did this; my apologies for
the extraneous test message.)

In the U.S. dictinoaries on my shelf (M-W 10th Collegiate, and F&W
Standard Collegiate), housebreaking is defined as burglary,
housebreak and housebroken are what is known in the UK as
house-train[ed].

Not that the Google-bashing trolls will care. (And I do not include
Keith Thompson and Chris F. A. Johnson here since they are
genuinely concerned about the issue.)

Oh, please don't exclude me. Chuck, Chris, and I are *all* genuinely
concerned about the issue, and we're all "Google-bashers". I don't
believe any of us are trolls, but if any of us are, we all are.

If Google fixes their broken interface (which they should have done
before they released it to the public), I'll stop doing this, and I'm
sure the others will as well.

Given the name "Understand for C++", it was perfectly reasonable to
assume that it was specific to C++. If it covers both C++ and C, the
previous poster probably should have mentioned it. Not a big deal
either way, but I don't see a "big horse" anywhere.

To be "genuinely" concerned, you would promote a better solution
when it is pointed out to you. Not all of you do that.

and we're all "Google-bashers".

Trolling is slightly different from legitimate criticism.

I don't believe any of us are trolls,

Somebody changed the subject to "Housebreaking Googlers".

but if any of us are, we all are.

Suit yorself.

Actually, Merriam-Webster is the only "true" Webster's dictionary,
in that it is descended from the original Webster. Many others use
the name, Webster.

That doesn't mean that what it's become is a reputable source.

 

[Richard Bos]

That doesn't mean that what it's become is a reputable source.

IMO it means that the original is suspect, because intentionally
revisionist.

So what?

So the post containing "housebreaking" was open to bizarre
misunderstanding.

True, but generally we try to avoid weird misunderstandings due to odd
linguistic changes. If someone wrote "dove" I'd be searching for the
white bird for instance.

And I would hazard a guess that the majority
of English speakers in here are from the U.S. where the term
"housebreak" is understood to be what the OP meant.

So drecking what? You left your worst argument to last.

I do not know. Sometime ago I tried to track the history of my sig
and I had no problem with that.

But context is everything. If someone used "dove" I might search for
a white bird, or the past tense of "dive". I seriously doubt that
when someone in here says "plonk" you or RJH think you are being
offered some cheap wine.

Be serious. Interpreting "housebreak" as anything other than
(toilet) training is rediculous.

Feel free to tilt on.

You might, but someone speaking UK English might simply be baffled.

Its not. It really really isn't and its sad that you can't see this.

Anyone for some faggots while we discuss further?

No thanks, whenever I've looked at them I've always thought erk!

However, it's now time to head up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire.

And what, after all, could be more convincing than an argument over
a question of usage that depends on an exhortation and an appeal to
emotion, and is misspelled besides?
