Papa Jack replies:

Merriam Webster on-line says:

   Main Entry: 3  lie
   Function: verb
   Inflected Form(s): lied; ly=B7ing /'lI-i[ng]/
   intransitive verb
   1 : to make an untrue statement with intent to deceive
   2 : to create a false or misleading impression

Now, O Village Idiot, using THAT definition of lying, please explain
how I lied by telling Walter above:  "You are wrong as usual.  The =

on-line Webster contadicts you:"  The on-line definition DID contradict
what Walter had said.  Ergo, I told the truth.  So, if I told the
truth you must have lied when you said I lied. =

Papa Jack replies:
So what?  It doesn't have to say human BEING.  The meaning is exactly
the same whether or not the word "being" is added to the word "human."

Papa Jack replies:
How about the Merriam Webster (hardly a nondescript dictionary):

  Main Entry: fe=B7tus
  Pronunciation: 'fE-t&s

  : an unborn or unhatched vertebrate especially after attaining the =

  basic structural plan of its kind;  specifically : a DEVELOPING =

  HUMAN from usually three months after conception to birth =


        http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/mweb

Or, how about The World Book Encyclopedia, p.206:

    EMBRYO, EM bree oh, is an animal or plant in an early stage
    of its development.  A HUMAN BEING is called an embryo for
    about the first two months of development before birth.  Then
    it becomes known as a fetus, or foetus....
