Ah, then you HAVE been appointed Grand Poobah of the English Language? What was
your appointment date? Who appointed you?

>Why don't you use a dictionary

>It will save you from lokking plain stupid.

Speaking of "lokking" plain stupid, how about if I type in ONE of the
definitions of atheism from ONE of the dictionaries I have handy. This is the
first definition listed under atheism in the Second College Edition of the
American Heritage Dictionary:

1. Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God.

Isn't that interesting? Just what I've been saying all along. :/
Guess that makes YOU "lokk" plain stupid, doesn't it?
