Where did you get degrade? Remember who is getting specific about definition in this and how much you dislike the need for specificity.

Quote:1. Degrade to the status of a mere object
Maybe I'm a snob, but I tend to go with the time honored OED when it comes to my definitions. Also, I don't see your qualifier in that definition, so where did that come from again? Not to mention that it would be an implied degradation to present a person as an object, but that's neither her nor there.
Edit: I also have no dislike for the need for specificity. It's just tiring having to be so in order to avoid misrepresentations of my statements.
