Nor do I think there is necessarily any "disagreement" needing reconciliation. I'm perfectly happy to live with the remaining ambiguities for the nonce....

So am I, Bruce. This life is full of education, and the next must be even fuller.

I think the word "nonce" must be one of those fifty dollars words that you use every once in awhile. I mean you could find use it maybe for a special occasion here at CR or other places. Where else have you used it?

Well,
I use "nonce" fairly often in thesame usage as Bruce, so I knew what it meant.
Main Entry: 1nonce
Pronunciation: 'nän(t)s
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English nanes, alteration (from misdivision of then anes in such phrases as to then anes for the one purpose) of anes one purpose, irregular from an, on one -- more at ONE
1 : the one, particular, or present occasion, purpose, or use <for the nonce>
2 : the time being

My grandmother used it frequently, she was of Ulster Irish descent.

Regards,
Scott

Hmmm; I hadn't realized it was all that expensive a word! . . .

Anyway, in the immoral words of Allan Sherman's uncle,

"Who counts?!"
