Help me out here
Boxjobox, I'm confused, I don't understand your comments here.
And you say I am hard to follow.
Definition of
bate:
1. to moderate or restrain: to bate one's enthusiasm.
2. to lessen or diminish; abate.
3. to diminish or subside; abate.
Definition of
descent:
1. the act, process, or fact of moving from a higher to a lower position.
2. a downward inclination or slope.
3. a passage or stairway leading down.
4. derivation from an ancestor; lineage; extraction.
5. any passing from higher to lower in degree or state; decline.
6. a sudden raid or hostile attack.
Please tell me which of these definitions for these 2 words are you using.
And who is getting "
heated?" Perhaps you should define "
heated" also. Seems to me semantics is a huge issue here.
