first off, out the gate, i apologize for the personal insults....even though your use of "yuck" indicates less than a mature discourse, it was improper for me to use personal insults.
>this is what your dictionary has >to say about "people" > >"Animals or other beings distinct from >human beings: "Rabbits and squirrels >are the furry, little people >of the woods."
wow. you've finally lost it. this makes absolutely no sense. if it it says animals are distinct from human beings, why would you call rabbits "furry people"? what on earth? anyway...it's not "my" dictionary, it's the american heritage dictionary. i didn't write it...and you obviously didn't read it.
>"race - 1. a group of >people distinguished by genetically transmitted >physical characteristics." > >oh so they must mean rabbits >are racially diverse
you can't snip out parts of the definition. they had several definitions. none of them were contradictory regarding the non-human animal v. human being distinction.
>Sorry spirit- when dealing with dictionaries >you'll be hard pressed to >find consitency much less demonstrate >some accurate assessment as to >what they are implying.
Sure, you know the English language better than the dictionary. Anyway, my part in this argument is over now...
