Veg*n = ? - 2005/06/10 13:46I was hoping that somebody could answer a trivia question for me. Why does one often see the spelling "veg*n", especially on the net? I`ve not been able to find any explanation anywhere, on or off the net, but my guess is that it`s a shorthand way of writing *both* vegetarian and vegan -- that is, veg*n = vegetarian/vegan. Is this correct? Thanks.
Re:Veg*n = ? - 2005/06/10 15:33In article Steve Erler, "zero or more arbitrary characters". So the expression "veg*n" would match both "vegan" and "vegetarian". Now that I think about it, I guess a better way to put it would be "veg*an".
Re:Veg*n = ? - 2005/06/10 19:43"Religious Zealot Martin Willett" preached his latest pro-meat, anti-vegetarian sermon: as a religion. Why else would you be posting anti-vegetarian, pro-meat
attacking meat-eaters the way meat-eaters seems compelled (perhaps out of guilt?) to attack vegetarians.
