i understood your point perfectly well. i just didn't agree with it, and you provided no actual evidence as to why i should change my mind.
Either you like clear English or you don't.
i do. more to the point, either you're wrong or you're not. and your opinion about the definitions of 'readability' and 'legibility' is clearly wrong.
I have no incentive to 'change your mind',
no, you're just going to make an opinionated assertion and then run away when asked to back it up with some evidence. you're the one who claimed to be pedantically correct on this matter, it's up to you to back up your claim. at least i provided evidence that supports my claim.
unless you can back that up with some references that unequivocally support your contention [...]

Not doing that. Thanks for your interest.
that would be because you can't but, as usual, you can never admit that you might be wrong about anything no matter how trivial.
actually, it seems your opinion is much less correct than mine. in a google search for 'legibility vs readability', the first seven results

Oh, yes. That will surely settle it. Well done!
yes, it does. really. 100% of examined search results supporting my claim versus zero evidence supporting yours really does not only settle it but proves that (aside from your stubborn self) it's not even a contentious or debated issue. when i ran that google search i was fully prepared to find that i was wrong (and even half-expecting it since you seemed so adamant about it) and change my mind accordingly....but i was pleasantly surprised to find out that i was in fact correct. now, you're entitled to your opinion - everyone is entitled to be wrong if they please. but you don't have a right to assert that your clearly incorrect opinion is pedanticaly - or in any way - correct. btw, your childishly smug yawns and giggles don't work in your favour as you might imagine - arrogance is only justifiable when it's in the right. at other times, it just gives the impression of a self-satisfied spoilt brat. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #429: Temporal anomaly
