<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">Other than that, any word is just a set of characters which can be used to <BR>
set air molecules in vibration or make odd arrangements of funny lines on a <BR>
piece of paper. There IS NO INHERENT MEANING IN THE WORD "DIXIELAND" ANY <BR>
MORE THAN THERE IS AN INHERENT MEANING IN THE WORD "GAZORNENPLAT!" It has to <BR>
be used in some sort of context first<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
If we could find who used the word first and he/she could explain what she/he meant wouldn't that take us a little further? As the inventor I guess he/she could be considered the owner of the word. They would certainly understand the context.<BR>
<BR>
Having made this helpful (!) suggestion I'd have to say that I don't know who she/he is/was.<BR>
<BR>
Any ideas?<BR>
