Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 @@@@ Christie: and while it influences lifestyle it is not in and of itself a " lifestyle. " @@@@@@@ I forgot to cover this in my last post, but basic noun phrase semantics give us that " lifestyle choice " doesn't necessarily (or even commonly) mean " choice of a lifestyle " , where " lifestyle " itself is vague with respect to its range of meaning (total lifestyle vs partial lifestyle). Rather, in this context, and most others, it means " choice of a lifestyle component " . As a related point, the word " influence " is an unnecessary hedge. I would replace with " is a component of " . For me, picking nits is a lifestyle choice. Mike SE Pennsylvania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
