Noun: A commesp is a comment passed on a religion without the commenter ever having read anything about that religion. Many Hindus pass commesps on Islam and Christianity, making these religions sound good (when ithey are not); many "Hindus" pass commesps on Dharma, making it sound bad (when it is not). The word has roots in "comment" and "ESP", or extra sensory perception, by which the comment seems to have been arrived at.[right][snapback]83048[/snapback][/right]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Are we quite sure its etymology is not traced back to "commie-speak"?
Now, how are we simple linguisticals to resolve this. We could debate this like mere civilised people Shambhu, or we can resort to the manner of our betters: WitSSelian put-downs (remember WitSSel's in/famous angry retorts when his "Sanskrit" translations were proven totally wrong? Koenraad Elst summarises The Tumble of WitSSel in the last section "Why, oh why?", 4th para and on)
