[BFix] FW: The new Socialism!

[Stephen Urban]

Proved my previous comment and then some.   I see you found your 
dictionary again as well.  If you would have raised your head from the 
keyboard during your haste to correct my spelling, you would have felt 
the breeze as the point passed by just over your head.  I guess I didn't 
type it slow enough for you.

  ""there is no such word." There is such a word..."   Spoken in true 
double-speak fashion.  Your given reference acknowledges that it has 
been in use for at least 80 years but it doesn't exist according to you.
