[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2808887, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]OK. I stand corrected (to a degree.) I decided to look up the difference and came up with this: "What is the difference between enemy and nemesis? What is the purpose of using the word ‘Arch’ before each? Nemesis is a stronger word than enemy. Enemy is an unfriendly or hostile person. Nemesis is an avenging force. In classical mythology Nemesis was the goddess of retribution. She punished both hubris (false pride) and wrongdoing. The goddess represents the idea that one cannot escape divine retribution." Sorry, Ace. I shouldn't have used the word 'nemesis.' You aren't up to that stage yet. Oh, by the way, the Winston Churchill quote in my signature is my new 'philosophy' for dealing with you. (All this is kidding by the way, except that you aren't even an enemy.) [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
