False pregnancy can occur in ewes, but it's more common in bitches. It of course is not a kind of pregnancy. Since that was why I mentioned it, making that point at me just shows how poorly you're following the conversation. The term is an illustration of an adjective working to some effect other than the simplistic one that you keep asserting is the only one possible. Oh, and do you get a nickle every time you use the word "Kantian" or something? You sound like a twelve year old who just learned a big shiny new word. The only other word you use as monotonously is "ewe." I note you are posting from New Zealand; is your fascination for ewes professional or romantic? > > I have the kind of certainty............ > > You still havent explained what you mean by certainty, so that doesn't > make sense. > > Can you be certain of anything? Absolutely certain? No, of course not. Marshall
