[PPRAANet] Club Discord?

[Jim KD0KQL]

  And here, I thought it was going to be food fights at the general club meetings.  Software is not as much fun, but probably a better idea.

Subject: Re: [PPRAANet] Club Discord?

I thought, from the Subject, that there was some sort of issue within
the club.

This is why:

(From Merriam-Webster)

discord

noun
dis·​cord ˈdi-ˌskȯrd

1 a
: lack of agreement or harmony (as between persons, things, or ideas)
… must we fall into the jabber and babel of discord while victory is
still unattained?
—Sir Winston Churchill
b
: active quarreling or conflict resulting from discord among persons or
factions : STRIFE
marital discord
discord between the two parties



Perhaps it should have been named "discourse" ??!!  Maybe that's what
they had in mind?:

discourse

noun
dis·​course ˈdi-ˌskȯrs  di-ˈskȯrs

1
: verbal interchange of ideas
especially : CONVERSATION

2
a
: formal and orderly and usually extended expression of thought on a subject
b
: connected speech or writing
c
: a linguistic unit (such as a conversation or a story) larger than a
sentence

3
: a mode of organizing knowledge, ideas, or experience that is rooted in
language and its concrete contexts (such as history or institutions)
critical discourse
