To me it is meaningless.
I fail to see how you can think I was offended except in so far as I am
offended by the use of meaningless language used in an emperor's clothes
manner
I said I find it meaningless:
>you do not attach any meaning to the term "avant garde" although you
>elected to use it. This is the usual way.
Initially
I had said
>If the term "avant garde" is his in this context, then I would welcome his
clarification. It is a term I try to avoid myself because I can never find
out what people mean when they use it.
I don't really mind people using terms that have no meaning; but now and
then I like to draw attention to it. It makes a change from singing
Twinkle, twinkle
Terribly nice to have spoken with you
