Just because "popular usage" may not appear in a particular dictionary
does not constitute "misuse".

If you speak of a prime lens to photographers, they know what you're
talking about.



The problem is, they may not. I do sometimes have occasion to mention
"prime lens" and I assure you I use it correctly. People who think it
means fixed focal length will, therefore, not understand what I am
saying.

Oh-ho, so that's it. Anyone who doesn't instantly understand your feverish
babble is an ignorant, "semi-literate ... whose
grasp of language is feeble"

Thank you for playing. You ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.


GUFFAW!

Your taste in TV shows explains a lot!
