Without blaming anyone, I'd like to request that you and Nator stop going round and round on this particular point.
But you've posted two different definitions of the word bias, and I have yet to see a link showing those definitions.

I didn't use an online dictionary. I have a rather large dictionary at home that is far more thorough than online dictionaries, but poking around I found what you're looking for. If you go to this webpage:
You'll see that definition 3a is the definition Nator was using.
But lengthy discussions about what someone really meant are a waste of time, plus you're critiquing your own paraphrase of what Nator said and not anything she actually did say.
So I'm still requesting, for the sake of all participants in this thread, that you stop going round and round about what you claim Nator said. It would really help move things along if you just accepted Nator's clarifications of what she meant.

I will stop, but point out that I introduced that very definition in to the discussion already, and still don't see the relevance.
I would love to see what would have happened if I had said the same thing.

If you had said the same thing as Percy, the same way he said it, I would have fallen over in a dead faint.
