UK English dictionaries aren't prescriptive, they measure the meaning and spelling of words rather than define them. Which is why many US English words are accepted meaning and spelling in the UK.Originally posted by Spiffor
Is there an official holder of the vocabulary truth in English ?
Or are English dictionaries' definitions written by some private actor to correspond with the general definition in the society ?One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

Bidder's Edge's bots were collecting data from eBay. eBay showed a slight performance lag. The judge ruled that the bots were tresspassing and causing damage to productivity.
Which is NOT email. Saying emails are trespassing on the server is a ludicrous position! Especially when there was no proof of a slowdown. And I'm not sure that I wouldn't have ruled the other way in the eBay case either, even though it that was it was bots collecting data causing a slowdown.
It would be a pretty absurd extension of trespass law to start including personal property of any kind.
He still has to bear the cost, though
Which is a non-argument in comparing the two. Just because the government hasn't decided to charge for emails (which has been considered from time to time) does not make it substantially different that post letters.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Like I said, I don't think I'd say bots were trespassing either. Though emails are less harmful to the server.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
