Hmm. So rather than admit to having made an error and correcting it, he claims that he did not err and maintains his position on the matter. Interesting...Quote from overtooled:
i saw him use that incorrectly too but he was masterful at recovering his poise with a creative defense and as proof a weblink. Way to recover surf!

the point you miss is that, perhaps due to his nimble of footwork, we can never really know if indeed he is deliberately using the word creatively as he claims. Nicely done surf, your adroit explanation creates just enough doubt that we can never really be sure ...
Sadly, it is you who missed the point. There is no doubt about which choice is the correct use of the English language. Surfer decided to explain why it was okay for him to make his (wrong) choice rather than to correct it.Quote from overtooled:

In fact, there is a lesson to be learned here: It is fascinating how our personalities find their way into our trading. (Was I not sufficiently clear in my prior post?)
you seem to scrutinize surf's every word. scold him at every turn. are you sure that whatever you think you see in him is not really a projection of all those things you hate in yourself?

Judging by your rather inept assessment of the "dispersions" matter, I think it is a bit presumptuous of you to try your hand at psychoanalysis. Nice try, though.
The "semantic disagreement" has evolved into a discussion about surfer's unwillingness to admit to a mistake and a willingness to actively engage in its denial. Are you suggesting that a comprehensive trading journal should not include such observations?
