I get your point, but that's just semantics. You go down on the list of definitions in Webster and you could find that "power" means exactly what the Title eludes.



I'm coming to the conclusion that when citing a dictionary or other reference work, the probability of an unforced language error in the same sentence asymptotically approaches 1.


I think semantic disputes in Internet discussions are slowly starting to overtake Godwin's law in terms of likelihood.
