Wow, that's one mighty woosh for the CP collective, isn't it? They can't seriously have failed to recognise the Empire in the Imperial, can they? Makes you wonder why you bother!

Let's give them a go with the introduction from this week's Uxbridge English Dictionary and see if the penny drops!

Quote:
Take, for instance, the difference in the use of the words 'defence' and 'resistance'. Resistance is the act of opposing or withstanding a hostile force either covertly or deliberately with violence while defence is the wooden thing in de garden.
