Large Sigh...
My Off Topic Rebuttal:
I see my above post's sarcasm went under appreciated. I do understand bona fide being a two word phrase of Latin origin. Bona meaning good and Fide meaning faith? (I don't know too much about Latin "I won't front"). However, I believed this thread/poll to be a complete waste of web space because no one cares, really. Also of note, is that another two word phrase "Bonifide Gangsta" has been created by the less educated in society. I've seen it in lyrics of rap "music" and "song" titles locally and otherwise. Further, I expected the idea of a "gangster" adding (or subtracting in this case) to the community of an emulation site to be quite funny in itself and that one might find the humor in this idea.
I'd get rude with you but I've taken up enough space (in this lovely thread) with off-topic retort. Thanks for your time and I apologize for the space-taking. Please continue your enlightening discussion of the difficult choice between "the" and "teh".
