Banned Herbicides & Pesticides
"It seems that you're the one with twisted knickers. We all know what's meant without being pedantic." No we don't all know what's meant - that is the whole point of this discussion. It is a writer's responsibility to try to avoid misunderstandings on the part of their readers. That is why we have a common language. Ah - but if we had to define every word we used we'd really be in a pickle. Very many 'common' words have several meanings, if that were no so there'd be no need for a thesaurus. For example - a few words picked out of the air - common, pickle, several, mother, string, keep, stay ... I shan't bother to continue but they show my point - that words should be understood in the context they are used. This is a gardening ng therefore the word 'organic' is understood as having a meaning relevant to gardening and doesn't need to have a dictionary definition to qualify it. Mary |
