"I get tired listening to you because the truth changes as the minutes tick by."I'm not so sure the truth itself had changed, but rather the words chosen by GL to express the underlying facts.
This was a good example of why I don't always like talking to people, because I usually don't have the patience to deal with people who blame the speaker (me) after they have clung to certain words and jumped to conclusions about what I meant.
Anyway, our section head has just forayed into this (now rather intense) discussion about the usage and meaning of various terms. (sigh) Too bad language has suppressed our ability to communicate effectively...
