Q. Do today's computer obsessed youngsters have any idea of their history - for instance, how many internet junkies know who was the French commander at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham?
A. Dogmatic means an "authoritative, arrogant assertion of unproved or unprovable principles." The derivation of the word is interesting - the root word, Dog-Ma suggests that the ancients thought that dogmatic people were "sons-of-a-bitch".
