Hi Netters, While checking a Collier's Standard Dictionary for the correct spelling of "Politician", the following was given:- (1) One engaged in politics, especially professionally. (2) USA One who engages in politics for personal or partisan aims rather than for reasons of principle; also, a political schemer or opportunist. (3) UK One skilled in the science of government or politics; a statesman. (4) The White-eyed Vireo; so called because it feathers its nest with bits of newspaper or whatever comes easily. Being a birder, I like number four. All the Best David Siems Sydney, Australia Phone: +61 (0)2 9759 1891 Email: |
