There seems to be an underlying assumption going on here that colloquial language usage must adhere to rules of logic. This is just nonsense.

RE: potis vs POTUS - I was simply trying to be funny. I don't think it deserved an insult to my intelligence. Thanks for making my time on this bulletin board unpleasant.

Thanks for making my time on this bulletin board unpleasant. Keep smiling Karen S. I assume it's their job to welcome you this way . Don' t know if there's any gold involved. My guess, it's is just charity. Your reply was quite to the point. :~)

So I don't get it. What did we do to insult her intelligence?

perhaps not her intelligence, per se, but I certainly felt *her education was alluded to in the three posts right after hers.

Karen, you've got to be a little bit thick-skinned if you are going to participate on these AWAD forums. I'm late into this dicussion; but I don't see this as an example of an insult. I see it as a part of the give-and-=take of a typical forum exchange. However, to come to your aid, I disagree with the precisionists concerning the meaning of POTIS. Capability in my neck of the woods implies the POWER to use that ability. [a parallel might be seen in the meaning of the Greek EXOUSIA -- see John 1:12] IMO, your point is well-taken. It is interesting that POTIS is so close to POTUS.
