Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Well, it may be a moot point: I have yet to hear from Laura or get the info about the teeth. Did anyone else receive anything from her?

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Elchanan, I would like to add my words of encouragement to you to keep posting here as much as you are willing and have time to do so. I find your posts well-written, well-balanced and informative. I don't keep up everyday, but do like to catch up when I can and look forward to what you have to say. As for the request for information on teeth, if the first person had taken the request to Laura privately, perhaps all the other members who followed up with their own requests would have forgotten to ask for information that may help them. I think it would be a shame to limit the conversation here--assuming the raw vegan guidelines are kept intact. I find it very helpful to my continuing raw life.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 I don't understand how this term " moot " is used by people. I hear this term expressed on the radio too. I wonder if people are using it with real understanding? tev Main Entry: 1moot Pronunciation: 'müt Function: noun Etymology: Middle English, from Old English mOt, gemOt; akin to Middle High German muoze meeting 1 : a deliberative assembly primarily for the administration of justice; especially : one held by the freemen of an Anglo-Saxon community 2 obsolete : ARGUMENT, DISCUSSION Entry Word: moot Function: verb Text: 1 Synonyms BROACH, bring up, introduce, ventilate 2 Synonyms DISCUSS 1, agitate, argue, canvass, debate, discept, dispute, ||kick around, thrash out, toss (around) moot court NOUN: A mock court where hypothetical cases are tried for the training of law students. moot PRONUNCIATION: mt NOUN: 1. Law A hypothetical case argued by law students as an exercise. 2. An ancient English meeting, especially a representative meeting of the freemen of a shire.

Law To plead or argue (a case) in a moot court. ADJECTIVE: 1. Subject to debate; arguable: a moot question. 2a. Law Without legal significance, through having been previously decided or settled. b. Of no practical importance; irrelevant. ETYMOLOGY: Middle English, meeting, from Old English mt, gemt. OTHER FORMS: mootness —NOUN USAGE NOTE: The adjective moot is originally a legal term going back to the mid-16th century. It derives from the noun moot, in its sense of a hypothetical case argued as an exercise by law students. Consequently, a moot question is one that is arguable or open to debate. But in the mid-19th century people also began to look at the hypothetical side of moot as its essential meaning, and they started to use the word to mean “of no significance or relevance.” Thus, a moot point, however debatable, is one that has no practical value. A number of critics have objected to this use, but 59 percent of the Usage Panel accepts it in the sentence The nominee himself chastised the White House for failing to do more to support him, but his concerns became moot when a number of Republicans announced that they, too, would oppose the nomination. When using moot one should be sure that the context makes clear which sense is meant. --- Jesse Parris <studio53 wrote: > > Well, > it may be a moot point: I have yet to hear from > Laura or get the info about > the teeth.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 My guess is that it is mostly used as an adjective (2b below): b. Of no practical importance; irrelevant. Seeing it here reminds me of The Lord of the Rings, with the Entmoot at Fangorn....probably one of the most widely known contemporary useages of the noun form, LOL!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Goto www.m-w.com Type in " moot " and see #2, " obsolete, click on " discussion " and read #1. It means, basically, in consideration of the question at hand, it is an obsolete point, as was the case with teeth info post by Laura. We can talk about all day long, but until she provides the info, it's a MOOT point. You msut be an English major.
