I hadn't heard that word before, but when I looked it up in a few different sources, none defined it as you have. This is EB's definition.

latitudinarian, any of the 17th-century Anglican clerics whose beliefs and practices were viewed by conservatives as unorthodox or, at best, heterodox. After first being applied to the Cambridge Platonists, the term was later used to categorize churchmen who depended upon reason to establish the moral certainty of Christian doctrines rather than argument from tradition. Limiting that doctrine to what had to be accepted, they allowed for latitude on other teachings. The Latitudinarians thus became the precursors of the similar Broad Church movement in the 19th-century Church of England.

EB's definition makes more sense, however, I can see why certain religious zealots (being indoctrinated into the concept of infallibility of their beliefs) might choose to ignore the word's root derivation and instead define the practice of latitudinarianism as an assault on their perception of truth.
 
------------------ Leukoedema ( leukoedema ) --------------------

Leukoedema - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukoedema

Leukoedema (also termed leucoedema)[1] is a blue, grey or white appearance of mucosae, particularly the buccal mucosa (the inside of the cheeks), but may also occur on the mucosa of the larynx or vagina. It is a harmless and very common condition. Because it is so common, it has been argued that it may in fact represent a variation of the normal appearance rather than a disease,[2] but empirical evidence suggests that leukoedema is an acquired condition caused by local irritation.[3] It is found more commonly in black skinned people and in those who smoke. The term is derived from the Greek words leuko-, "white" and οἴδημα””oídēma, "swelling".

Seems pretty relevant with the current male dominated parliament

Hi TS,
Welcome back.

Actually, I am not **** at chess.

I am a 1600 player, when practiced.
Sometimes I rob rating points from higher rated players.
That's how I first became a "BURGLAR".

Told I should go to a weaker club if I wanted to win more,
I thought FTSE you, 1600 is where I aspire to be!

Win, lose or draw; I love my chess!!
 
Hi Burglar ... good to be back.

o·bei·sance [oh-bey-suhns ] noun

1. a movement of the body expressing deep respect or deferential courtesy, as before a superior; a bow, curtsy, or other similar gesture.

2. deference or homage: The nobles gave obeisance to the new king.

:thankyou:
