Hi, @imhotep
Be careful of this @Hyaenidae clown, no matter how hard you try to prove something, he will come out with his own perceptions, oxford is just a dictionary, not all the words in oxford dictionary are English and all the English words are not in oxford dictionary.

Sometimes this one tries to become the Shakespeare, sometimes a scientist , or transforming to a mathematician , Pythagoras, but I call him jack of all trades

better let him shine and rest your case !
