This is comp.lang.c, not comp.lang.c++.  You flog Bart for using
C-standard-defined terms wrongly.  This case is no different.

In this case you are in the wrong.  Just be a man and admit it.  Oh, I
forgot, your rhetorical religion doesn't allow you to admit any
linguistic imperfection, so you try to sleaze your way to a different
subject so you can continue to argue.
