Hey, finally, I get it now. Sorry Dale, but your answer meant nothing to me. I figure
the http thingie meant look it up somewhere, but could not get the whole thing into
a google space correctly.

Unless there is an easier way to go to that spot without typing it all in a space, and
being still less than 2 years on the computer, I do not know how.

Pretty cool. I love astronomy. Did not quite get all the
math-linked ideas, but that's OK. Dale's link (or whatever
it is) is sort of like that, yes, thanks for the
simile.

Copy and paste the whole mesjpogge in the internet-adress-window top of the page and you'll get it. But in this case Dale did not complete his search so you'll get to the point where he got stuck. That 1.2.3. thread must have jumped the Hubble limit.

Forgive me guys, my bad. I had thought I was conducting a search on

type-1 type-2 conversation

, but for some reason my link didn't work, sorry, I should have tried it after posting

" ...an a Class 3 word is one that has ever body scratchin they heads as to whut is that feller talkin bout."

Fal, your def is pretty accurate but I'd add that the type-3 might be considered snooty in everyday conversation

Sometimes I love snooty. The other day during a very tedious
conversation with some folks who knew next to nothing about the topic, which was the value of the jury system,
I tired of it all, and said I was really against it, and what
we really needed was a monarchy, and that I was available
for king. Really stopped them short.

But thanks for the update, Dale. I was lost for awhile.

Luke, good one

I suppose "monarchy" is type-2 if "Royalty" or "throne" is its type-1

..where I suppose "prepotency" or "sovereignty" might be considered type-3

Something scares me about "prepotency". However if it is a
type 3 then I can use it without anyone knowing what it means.
What does it mean?????

the general, non-technical, meaning is simply predominance.
