I can accept a misuse of a word. I certainly was not an English major. My admittedly poor use of written communication is probably why I was just a "B-" student. I've just always been a better public speaker as opposed to being a writer.

Perhaps you (or any of the other English majors out there?) can explain to me how I used the word incorrectly? I ask because I was trying to convey that you needed the "standard, current thought, commonly understood standard, etc..." to be what I described.
