Equus..... what's that a picture of in your avatar? It's fuzzy and cute!
I just had to say that before I point something out.
I noticed that you had to spend way more time defending use of the word "should" than Don did to dispute it!
However, if no "shoulds" were ever used wouldn't that be an absolute also?
I understand what you mean though Eq. "Should" has its uses. But the exercise of examining frivolous use of the word is useful.
I have some more info on the word "should" that I'll ferret out and interject here.
