Do you have a query about words, their origin, meaning, use, spelling, pronunciation, or any other aspect of the English language? Then write to OWLS at Oxford University Press, Walton Street, Oxford OX2 6DP, England.
All queries willl be answered using the full resources of the Oxford Dictionary Department.
Like the rest of the mentaly mastubatory on here, you missed the *entire* point of my original question. How did the word get there, NOT what the word means. I KNOW what and how to use the word. Some of you people are fucking worthless for anything other than baiting. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | | | If the foo shits, wear it. | | | | Killroy | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.

I agree with Jim, we have shown WHAT orthogonal means to the fields of programming languages, computer theory, and software engineering. The question is WHY it was adopted. : : Some of you people are fucking worthless for anything other than baiting. Oh, come now, any human has many uses if you put your mind to it. A cheap, renewable replacement for ballistic test gelatin, maybe? ;) Mark - -- [] Mark Rogaski "That which does not kill me [] wendigo@pobox.com only makes me stranger." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP for Personal Privacy 5.0 Charset: noconv iQA/AwUBNFbloMHFI4kt/DQOEQJSAACeKYPsTTsdIkyWJmgBITIX+JBTGEUAoKfL JyNmBdHK8OIM/qsNdzWA8T4q =PB3c -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
