If you used the word buglarize and buglarized many times in your career, Roger, you must be a cop, a crook or a journalist.  ;)   I am certain none of those professions qualifies you as a linguistic specialist...which puts you in the same boat as me  :)

Much of the English speaking British empire resents American domination of the English language. American English is the living English language...non-American English speakers are really speaking dead languages. TIC, mostly.

--- I hope everyone knows TIC means my tongue is in my cheek ---

There is a certain amount of truth to that TIC remark though. America dominated the last century in terms of military might, technological advances, and social advances including entertainment (although I think most of those social advances moved us closer to the gutter) so it should be no surprise that Americans forced the evolution of the English language.

...based on what you said Apault...I imagine I'll find my discussions of Internet and encryption protocols, and network routing very interesting business when I teach a network analysis class in China.  OYE!!![/quote]
