Thanks to our exegetes

While not exactly on topic, I learned a new word from Dictionary.com today:

Dictionary.com:

exegete \EK-suh-jeet, noun:
A person who explains or interprets difficult parts of written works.

All the things said in this passage are clear and should be paid attention to, without an exegete interpreting.
--Galen, Commentary on Hippocrates' On the Nature of Man

He is far more a man of prayer, a witness, a confessor and a prophet, than a learned exegete and close thinking scholastic.
--Adolf Deissmann, St. Paul, A Study in Social and Religious History

I want to thank all the exegetes among the membership of bbs.macscripter.net who contribute their excellent and cogent explanations and examples to this board. It’s a pleasure to learn AppleScript this way.

I thought that word looked familiar! I subscribe to Doctor Dictionary and I receive an email “Word-of-the-Day” and that was today’s word! :lol:
