philgoddard: I don't see how this is different from Rob's answer, or why his is "dictionary driven" and yours isn't. I'm sure he didn't even need a dictionary.

54 mins

-> The asker had been gravitating in the direction of my answer until torpedoed by comments like yours.

neutral

Rob Grayson: As philgoddard said, no dictionary required. And, by the way, a scenario is not the same thing as an assumption. // Your comment is baffling in its irrelevance.
