I was reading my home pocket dictionary. I now understand its no good when it comes to law language. :-)
I mean: For instance: Take the word "stream". I know some coal industry lawyers who, after four decades of arguing in one case or another in one Court or another, still can't figure out what a "stream" is! [tsk!]
Don't let on that I told you so, Spunky; but, in my opinion, some lawyers spend wa-a-ay too many hours on the upper-floor of that glass-enclosed, high-rise office building of theirs!
Have a nice day! ;-}
