“But I called you out on three words — chivvied, homestand and tally book — none of which I've ever heard used in this country.”

That is a short sentence. When you began it you were right but before you ended you were wrong. I have not used the word “homestand”.

Reading your posts allows me to experience vicariously what it must be like to live with attention deficient disorder.

jeffersondem: " I have not used the word 'homestand'."

That should demonstrate how unfamiliar sounding your word was -- post #585, same as "chivvied" you said:

"But it is hard to criticize self-defense within the homestall - especially for someone that lived in a culture that valued honor."

And you were called out for it at the same time.
