Hi, thanks for supporting me. Didn't look that word up, it just sounded correct.

Even your quoted definition shows it as "specialized." The problem is that it's just a back-formation that is non-standard, creates a word identical to another completely unrelated word in common use, and is completely unnecessary, as "prey" is a word that conveys the exact meaning involved. Nevertheless, even though I don't like it, it has been around since about 1974 in this sense. I guess it's like some of the current attempts to establish "they" and "their" as non-gender-specific singular pronouns--I may have to yield to its use to understand what someone means.

Very nice shot Rhett.
Thanks, Jan.
I quick surfed your online photo site.
I'm a FL native myself. Liked the manatees. Did a written assignment on them at UF a good number of years ago. :-)

Thanks Rhett. Was there any idea floated at that time to require safe boat props?

Not that I recall. Less environmentally responsible times back in the 70's.
