The word is lens: there is no trailing E. Take the time to check a dictionary every now and then. Thank you Well, according to: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lens Lens is just a modern term for "have a butchers at"... Not sure if it is a spoof or real site - it looks like it is a bit close to Roger's Profanisaurus. -- http://www.petezilla.co.uk |

Abivalent is to bivalent, as amoral is to moral...
;-) -- Skip Middleton www.shadowcatcherimagery.com www.pbase.com/skipm "Tony Polson" wrote in message ... (Floyd L. Davidson) wrote: "Abivalent" is not ambiguous in that statement. He could have used "ambiguous", and that wouldn't be abivalent either. Which is because, of course, the two words are synonyms, and therefore ambiguous is abivalent and abivalent is abiguous, when used properly, as he did. Got that? I have never seen the word "abivalent" before. What does it mean? Or did you intend to type "ambivalent"? |

Yes, but if you are going to take horrible photos, they will be horrible regardless of how good a camera you use, so you might as well enjoy yourself and use the best equipment you can afford...... |

After all, If I had to post in another language, it would be a miracle if anyone could understand me at all! I think it's sad when people lack basic English skills. |
