Take the word bass, for example. If the subject is fish and you're talking about a guitar then someone's definition of bass is "more wrong" based upon the context in which bass was used.

Yeah, "folks" like these . . .
Did you ever wonder why they call 'em a "babysitter" instead of a "fetussitter"? Because babies aren't fetuses despite what "folks" might call them.

I want you to click "Search." Enter "definition" into the keyword field. Enter "Bfine32" in username field. Scroll down and click the "posts" button at the end of "Search Results as" and then click the "Search" button. What search results do you get? Six pages of results like this . . .

Isn't that exactly what you just accused me of doing?
Quote:But to answer your "non-stickler" questions:
A fetus is unborn offspring
The definition of baby has already been provided
A fetus is "unborn." Unborn means before birth. When is it "born"? At birth. After it is born is it "unborn"? No. Can it be "born" and "unborn" simultaneously before or after birth? No. Therefore, by definition, a fetus is only a fetus if it is "unborn." So when does a fetus become a baby?

Holy shit! Exactly what I wrote in post #17 before you "didn't" argue about "another" definition "again."
At the end of the 10th week of pregnancy, your baby is no longer an embryo. It is now a fetus, the stage of development up until birth.
Do we need to confirm "up until birth" means the fetal stage ends at "birth" and the "etymology" of "neonate"?
