Delete is a technical word that has a specfiic meaning. Respectfully, if that were true, we wouldn't all be having this discussion.

  Respectfully, the fact that we're having this discussion means some participants aren't adhering to the technical definition. There's a meandering, geographically and socialogically heterogeneous definition that is non-technical. In court, I believe a technical expert would use the former, not the latter (unless specifically required to do otherwise).

    What do you think that definition is? I've never seen a single, authoritative, technical definition of the term, nor anyone with the authority to write one.

    English courts don't like to give specific technical meanings to words. They prefer to use the everyday meaning as understood by the reasonable person. I understand this is perhaps a cultural difference to the US.
