For one thing, please describe for me how someone "shocked, but not dismayed" would appear in any wise differently from one, say, dismayed but not shocked, and which of the two would win an all-out no-holds-barred brassknuckles staring contest of the olden sort.

For another thing, -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. didn't impute anything, you dumb fuck. And would you not agree that it's boringly characteristic of you to misuse a word during a conversation about using words according to their precise meanings?

For another thing, no one's fucking been talking about the meaning "plum" carries, normally or otherwise. Oh, except you, just now. The point is not that Briticisms, Americanisms, or what have you use words differently from their dictionary meanings; that's not even your original point.

And besides, if you'd bothered to check, you'd know that "plum" as used on poemranker actually means 'a large purplish kind of mealy fruit'. Good one!
