    JT,

    Now I could understand how *ah* might not know what "Ibid" meant (which, until recently, I didn't.)......but YOU?

    Ain't no way!!!!

    Actually, what does the actual word "Ibid" mean? Like, "brb" means "be right back" (kinda). Is it Latin or Greek? An abbreviation?

    Funky................?

    Waiting:

    Ibid is the short form (accepted version) of the latin Ibidem which means in the same place.

    Um,

    Waiting, now I know you and JT did not pay attention in high school. We had to use the Ibid format for our term paper/report bibliographies.

    Greven, are you serious?!?!?! It really took them 3 months to get back to you with that? LOL. I guess they were busy shepherding fleecing the flock.

    Yup three months!

    When I found out I felt silly; I should have known. I forget all about it and three months later an elder approached me and said: "hey, i know what it means, it means in the same place" with a smug look on his face. Poor chap.

    When I was a kid I wondered who the hell this Ibid chap was, and how he got to know so much...
