Definition

What would the modern world be without a clear definition eh? No 'gray areas' whatsoever, which is still too much, if you look at whats happenin' in the whole world. Soldiers need clear mission parameters, mission objectives clarly defined, or the next minute the bullets start flying, they'd find themselves violating a few hundred clauses in the Geneva Conventions and draw flak from human rights commissions worldwide all for defending himself against an 'unlawful combatant' or 'freedom fighter' aka 'terrorist'. Depending on which camp you're in, your vernacular would definitely use one of those three terms. A lecturer of mine once said, the American English is full of colloquialism, well, its not just that part of the globe, its the whole globe.

Now, what has definition got to do with my post here? Our professor, Dr. Norizan told us to track down a few word definitions. I'll have at them right this minute!
