How to define words

Submitted by Mr. XC on March 8, 2008 - 6:23am.

Yes.  It seems that now a few intelligent posters forgot that we use dictionaries to define words.

"A writer, student, or scholar of history." 1
"One who writes or compiles a chronological record of events; a chronicler." 1

(emphasis mine)

"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. ..." -- Thomas Jefferson
