One annoying thing in the western culture is this habit of examining the border cases from start before there's even six minutes of practice. Even this topic is a showcase - a very clear decision was made, yet the first thread about it is a broad "what if". While it's perhaps useful when testing the rules, it's also testing the nerves at times. And once you start thinking that way you can't get rid of it, it's a kind of a mental equivalent of an earworm.

So any definition has its broader versions, and some of those broad versions can be stretched to encompass more than just border cases, and then... there's no end to this kind of mental exercise. Which is why I applaud Michel for this move - for doing it after lots of private consultation, not after a public debate. As I see where that debate would go.

>I know the word "Bible" is a religious term. There are probably hundreds of books that use the term Bible such as "Linux Programming Bible." I would assume that many are offended by this, so at some point this could be taken to the extreme that no one can ever reference a book or site here that uses the word "Bible." I know this all sounds kind of taking it as far as it can go, but a loss of free speach usually ends up going in directions that people don't expect at first. Kind of like societies or groups that are involved in book burnings, etc.

To me such usage of the world is a sign how far did christianity encroach into, and monopolize the secular language. Those books could have, with equally strong reasoning, be called cookbooks or Linuxpedia or whatever, but no, the author of the first such book was more impressed with his one book, and pushed the term into this kind of usage.

What was the other exclamation in English, uttered in situations of grave danger?
