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.
