Picky, picky, E. One of the dictionaries I cited was the American Heritage Dictionary. If the meaning passed their usage panel, it's good enough for me.

In language, nobody ever has the last word.

I don't enjoy mysteries, either.

If you believe my judgment is worth anything, please try Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time? And Dorothy Sayers's Gaudy Night?

If you can read those and still tell me you don't like any mysteries, well, what can I say?
