Briefly:
<<
Doug, I don't follow you.
The definitions you quote are Robin's definitions of what dictionaries are....not what a jump cut is.
I certainly agree with his defintions of dictionaries.
>>
"Robin's definitions" ... "his definitions" -- if my earlier post was so obscure that Jeffrey *really thought that what I was citing directly (and with acknowledgement) from the OED4 was my own work ...
(Just to make this clear, Doug was correct in saying, "the 2nd definition Robin posted" -- the translation into these definitions being apparently my own work or personal possession is entirely Jeffrey's.)
No wonder there are misunderstandings around.
This is seriously angels weep territory.
