    Why did you post that twice? You posted that loooooong definition a couple pages back, too...
    And why, if you don't mind me asking, are you posting these definitions, especially the one you've posted multiple times now? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something...

    let's just accept the cultural biases, in the usa it's not really a bad thing. in england, it may or may not, depending upon whether or not you're privy to the formal title.
