I think these words may appear to be synonomous with one another, but in the context of TGM they are distinctive. imperative is unavoidable and non-negotiable - a directive essential is indespensible (disposed of at owner's risk) and advisable - an instructive It is imperative that you leave the burning building, it is not essential that you use a door! Words serve our purposes, not the other way around. Afterall, how many concocted words did Billy Wobbledagger introduce into that mongrel lexicon that is english? In the context of TGM: I would rather look like Curtis Strange at impact, as opposed to Curtis Strange at top! okie View Public Profile Send a private message to okie Find all posts by okie
