Re: Time to get a clue...
Geez, offended? Firstly, when I said "wayy off topic" I was talking about my own post, not yours. My post wasn't a criticism of your point at all, but a discussion of the various forms of this quote you always see floating around. That's why it was off topic. Hi.
Now, to get into the finer details: Although I don't see anywhere in the Bartlett's where it says their version of the quote (the one I used) is "altered" (seriously, where did you see that?), I happily concede that their version may not be the only one attributed to him. The version you mention from Platt is also a version you frequently see. Nonetheless, it has the same general meaning as Bartlett's version.
The version of interest (mentioning "temporal safety") makes little sense. That's why it was interesting to me since it's repeated in that form a good deal on the web.
But, since you thanked me: you're welcome. |
