Tony, I agree with everything you said. This is how we all learned the game and how we expect it to be played. I just really don't like the implications of using a perfectly good English word like "intentional" to mean something different. How many times have you heard a coach, fan, or player yell "Common ref, that was intentional" and you knew it was on purpose but did not fit the spirit of the rule? I know I've heard it about once every other game, although admittedly not too often in end of game situations like from this thread.

I don't have any reasonable alternative thought through, but as someone who is pretty anal about using words properly, this one just grates on me.
