As for the smart guy that made the ignorant comment about my interest in semantics, I have no intentions to start an argument with you. However, let me add that I have not the time or efforts to argue semantics, I've done enough of that with my colleages and people like you. All I'm asking is that if a problem was being resolved i.e. any problem, and we were discussing
the semantics and the way one might interpret the statement or the choice of words used then one may interpret that growing pains even if its the situation with the golf carts or the fact these articles are continuosly being published in the paper, growing which obviously means increasing or as I said escalating and pain which means discomfort, ache or in a more complex term 'problem' it boils down to him saying that it is a growing community with growing problems that exist like any other place in the world.
