You have successfully repeated the opinion of the Oxford English Dictionary after reading an entire article about how the British used Pales to colonize areas and define boundaries, but I'm not sure it's as cut and dry as you want it to be.

Dude it was your source. Take the L and don't cite sources you haven't read going forward.

Please don't make personal attacks like that on this forum, it's against the rules.

So is claiming someone didn't read a source when you disagree with their interpretation.

I'm saying you didn't read the source because you cited a source and it clearly contradicted what you said.

I don't know why you're still typing, you're not convincing anybody, you're not getting any karma, and nobody is gonna respect you more for refusing to acknowledge how blatantly wrong you are. The best you can do here is admit (to yourself) you screwed up and that you have a lot of trouble admitting when you're wrong, and then working on that character flaw -- your life will go a lot smoother.
