For someone who's trying to impress me, i must say the standard is still somewhat lacking. For instance, in your argument that toddler belongs to the age range of "12-36 months", it is based on your own personal assumption. And granted, that you are not a guru in population studies, i have to say that it is bullsh*t.
impress u? get a life...
generally speaking, the oxford english dictionary definition of "toddler" as "one who toddles" is supposed to be sufficiently vague to impose different intepretations to it...
it can even be used to describe the aged though it is hardly used that way. what u were referring to, would be more aptly referred to as an "infant", and not a toddler, since by the time a child "toddles", they are not just drinking milk anymore as u suggested earlier.
if u remain unconvinced, go ask a pediatrician.
As for your comments about logical structure, i find it amusing as your construction of sentences is not exactly flawless.
You have also failed to put up a convincing argument as to why mothers, bad milk and arseholes should not be put together. It's quite logical if you squat down in a dark corner, think over it on your own and come to grasp with this simple concept.
the concept appears simple only to your skewed logic.
if u're so conviced of the rightness of your grammar crusade, then knock yourself out...
it is rather disturbing that one gets so turned on by marking comments posted in an online forum like an anal-retentive english teacher...
