@JR I appreciate your stated position with regard to attitude, but it occurs to me that my use of hyperbole being equated to "bitching about the weather" is not only inaccurate but bears none of the hallmarks associated with the altruism of teaching a man to fish.

@JR: Your first two suggestions are just variations on the: "Use enough fill to get over the minimum character hump" scheme I used, which you pooh-poohed, so I'm surprised you'd offer them up as if they came from your camp and, only because of that, are acceptable. Linking to a dictionary page is OK, but I like the "sample sentence" approach best; maybe I'll use it next time. BTW, why the attitude?

@J.R.: Thank you for your critique, and - Bingq! - you hit the nail right on the head! Having been apprised by the system that single word answers are unacceptable, (unless, of course, the single word is at least 30 characters long) even though that's what was asked for, I endeavored to find a way to present my single-word answer cleanly and understandably. I seem to have accomplished my goal, much to the chagrin of those who would have me prove the validity of my contribution rather than their having to disprove it. Oh, well... into each life a little rain must fall. :-)

@Mari-Lou A: Thank you for your critique. Of course your suggestions are easily realizable, but "guess" and "How hard is it" seem more like unwarranted pejorative slaps than genuinely constructive criticism.

@choster: Thank you for your critique. Having thought the answer was self-explanatory, I didn't see the need to provide corroborating links. However, I'm new to this site so I'll visit the help center and peruse the rules so as not to run afoul of the "law" again. ;)
