Oh dear, Mary. You mean the Federalist papers have lost their meaning? Maybe
that explains the state of our alleged "government".

in current usage 'gambling' and 'gaming' are divided up by politics.
Gambling is what the anti casino forces call it, gaming is what those promoting
casinos call it.
my son the coder would never think of the computer variety as anything but
gaming.
Language is fluid and evolves over time. Just try reading anything over 100
years old and it's like a different language. The Internet has pushed that
evolution into high gear and combined with the poor education young 'uns
receive it's degrading at a record pace.
Try reading the Federalist Papers without a dictionary. Yet, that was the
common language that everyone understood in the 1700's.
sorry, Rick, I'm with Ray on this one.
Mary
I doubt there was much computer games being played in 1350. I rest my case.
Gaming is gambling.
