Actually, wwh, I misused 'regress' on purpose: people in these threads occasionally will say that they are 'digressing'--and this particular thread was taking on several forms. The thread had digressed, so I wrote that I was 'regressing'--and meant the term in a tongue-in-cheek way. But you are absolutely correct, of course. I wasn't really regressing at all in the way the verb should had been used--and accurately used. I was just having a bit of fun with the sound of it. I don't suppose AWAD, of all places, is a place where I should intentionally misuse a word and not expect to be corrected. I won't pull that kind of action again and will simply and correctly revert when amused by threads' digressions.
