Help me find a replacement ceramic fuse numbered T1H250V ple

Just pondering my reply given your other oft-stated position regarding changes in usage of words, and wondering how best to explore the apparent inconsistency between what you say about the "meaning" of "lamp", and what you have said about the meaning of "mayoress", or "electrocution", to pick just two examples.

I'll respond to that in the other thread in which you have just written exactly the same thing!

Kind Regards, John

I reckon that is close to QED for me Language is about effective and unambiguous communication. The above exchange surely indicates that what has been done to the use/meaning of the word "lamp" has undermined that principle?

I refer the honourable gentleman to what has been done to effectively and unambiguously communicating the position of Mayor as opposed to the female consort of a Mayor, or a fatal electric shock as opposed to a non-fatal one, both of which he has in the past defended on the basis that language changes, and people use words to mean different things to what they meant an instant before.

A third time in quick succession - was it perhaps a particularly good bottle this evening'?! If you can be a little patient I'll respond to it in the other thread!
