The use of "illiterate" to mean "semiliterate" is in fact a slang definition resulting from misuse of illiterate when the more accurate "semiliterate" is the "correct" word. The only difference between this an the "mistakes" that pedantic nitpickers focus on is that it has been around longer. If you can accept that, then you don't need to attack perfectly understandable prose just because it doesn't meet an arbitrary standard of perfection. -- ________________________ (Disclaimer: If NASA had any postion on any of this do you think they would have ME give it?)
