As officials, it's our job to communicate well, at times, with coaches, players, ADs, etc. We should strive to communicate properly at all times. This includes proper grammar and proper word usage.
If others don't feel that's important, that's fine, too.

Rich,
I definitely agree that we, as officials, communicate properly and use proper grammer - I also feel it is important. However, my point is that I think this thread is a classic example of taking things a little to far (talking about different dictionaries, etc)
I think there are times when we need to just walk away rather than beating a dead horse.
