there are a couple of old lexicographer's precepts that go like this: a) be brief, b) keep it simple. these predate online dictionaries, which seemingly have less stringent space requirements, but.
anyway, applying these, and also considering a comment in the voting thread regarding Too Much Information, I arrived, as I mentioned in the event, at the choice of C or H. in fact, I was just about to pull the trigger on H when it struck me that not even the OED uses an obvious Brit. spelling such as "specialised" within their definitions! (sorry, Jackie - too clever by half. : )

btw, bex, you didn't mention the source for your True Definition..

I knew they existed but not what they were called. I liked your one Bran, but it was too close to mine, so I thought it an untruth I was persuaded by your background knowledge elifit  good first go.

I have a mental picture of kibitzers (not to be confused with kibbutzes, which I seem to do) gone out of control.

I stand corrected. Thanks.
I don't like February. It's the three months between
January and March.

February's the best!
A) You can really tell the days are getting longer

2) Pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training.

February is too short; by the end, you can tell spring is coming.
