"locus classicus" - Just wondering... does every board have their own Latin?
*************
You'll have to personally ask what tsuwm intends when he uses them... as if we'll ever see that *happen again.
As for myself - it informs to the reader of at least one of the following three things, but most times all of them:
- The meaning of the word is interpretable, and its use is/was intended that way. There is a good chance you think this word means something different than I do and an even better chance that I don't mean what the word *says.
- It may not be the word I was looking for, but taken in context, you'll probably understand I was being sarcastic. But, maybe *not...
- Tongue firmly planted in cheek.
EDIT - I firmly believe that at least one word in most sentences (of mine, at least) fits the above *bill and, therefore, my use of the asterisk offers more *functionality. I doing my best to say that with a straight face.
