Thanks, that is helpful ...


'ontology" should not be used at all, because it means "the study of 
being" (Greek ONTO -- (being) + LOGIA (discourse) -- not a possible 
and mistaken back formation into ONTO (essence) + LOGOS (word) -- as 
the essence or existence of words).'

YES!!!! <ducking the flames>
