True but it would be fun to research this too, it's like asking for a spoon when you can use your hand....or something like that
in my opinion lazy people would ask for an easier way out in things and if you are smart which i hope u are then you will look it up...
no offence intended!

I just meant that, if you provide a definition people may be more likely to investigate, and possibly use the word. Threads like this often have people just posting word after word, with people more interested in the things they contribute than what others are posting.
