Please do not be like a moderator on the other board and deflect.
You introduced the linguistic term and now you do not care to defend your introduction of it. Please, dear moderator, refrain from such specious argumentation on our holy forum.

I don't think I disagreed with this.

And you are entitled to that opinion and I don't disagree that Lee was loose sometimes on such matters.
However, I was merely questioning whether
your suggestion was "more clear language."
I do not think your presentation is clear in any fashion and just makes thing worse than they already were.
Sorry!
