Re: heat is not a noun



And once again, this list will be drawn into the HEAT of battle!

(Personally, I'm quite attached to these four letter Anglo-Saxonisms)

At 7:42 PM -0700 1/30/01, Larry Smith, you wrote about heat is not a noun:


Would it not warm Jim Green's heart to know that Robert H. Romer, editor of
AJP has an editorial in the Feb 2001 issue entitled "Heat is Not a Noun"?
It starts out: "Let's strike a blow for clear thinking by ridding the
English language of the word heat as a noun.... Heat is not a substance."
