[BITList] get with it

Mike, Hugh

Whaaaaat!..................................”there is no mention of this Yankee word – allision” !

You guys, get your selves a decent dictionary and brush up on your latin.

My third edition revised with addenda of “The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary on Historical Principles” edited by C. T. Onions shows :-

Allision    obs 1631  [ad. L. allisionem.]    The action of dashing against.



qui inhærentem altè pectori tuo terræ globum quàm celerrimè excus- sit, & expresso inter allisionem tinni- tu, inanias illu suas explicare coëgit, 

inherent in your heart that the other ball of earth as quickly as search- is squeezed between the dashing and sound- You, more empty him to explain his drive,

Colin & Hugh, 

Collision is in my Oxford Compact English Dictionary, there is no mention of this Yankee word - allision !

  Colin,

  But why two words for the same thing? If there is an allision between A and B, could there be a collision between B and A? Or are they both allisions, or collisions?  And how can we tell? Collision is dangerous enough for me.

  Hugh.
