Excuse me, but do not make this argument about me. Second of all, RnMomof7 was the one who made the issue out of the abbreviation. When Ann Archy asked her what she meant by “Jam.,” RN asked her if she had read the Bible, and in a follow-up to Cronos, posted the names of all the books in the Protestant/Reformed canon of the Bible and their apparent abbreviations and claimed that their unfamiliarity with her abbreviation was an example of Catholic’s “biblical illiteracy.” All I did was correct her.

Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

[Cronos]

Actually, I posted the same name of the book, James, in multiple languages -- it's called Jakuba in Polish for example (and in quite a few other Germanic languages while it is Jacques or variants in Romance languages). We all err if we think that English is the only defining term. Another case raised is calling priests Fr. when for example in Poland they are called Ksiądz as a title, so we take what we read in English to mean the entire world (and I made the same mistake years earlier before I learnt a few other languages)
