It is because you lean on (not "lean on to", by the way) those
references that you, in fact, ARE seen as incredibly stubborn

I disagree and contradict you. You don't like it. That's your
problem -not mine.



I did not question the word "thesis" or "speciality". You seem to do
so, so in order to become wiser, I should very much like to get an
explaination of why two reputable dictionaries seem to have got it all
wrong.

Several people have explained that to you, but because you insist on
the superiority of your "reputable references", you're incapable of
absorbing those explanations . . .

The mere fact that you say so should make me agree with your notions?
Why?

It's quite clear that you post here not "in order to become wiser",
but rather to satisfy your appetite for conflict and your urge to
practice your bad English.

Oh, now it is bad English - so if you cannot convince me I am using bad
English? Is this the best you can do?

Well, you say my English is bad - that's OK - some say otherwise, but
they are wrong, of course, aren't they?
