No, but you're obviously very embarrassed about my
showing what a faux vegetarian you are, else you
wouldn't keep snipping my whole post away.

Why don't you explain why you try to fool people into
thinking you're a vegetarian whose diet consists primarily
or wholly of vegetables when announcing yourself as a
vegetarian? You've admitted you inwardly refer to a
completely different definition of the term 'vegetarian'
when making this announcement which has nothing to do
with vegetables at all, and here's your acknowledgement
of that.

"The term "vegetarian" comes from "vegetus", the
latin for "enlivened", and has no connection, apart
from a linguistic one, with vegetables. This is a
common misconception."

As you say, "This is a common misconception", and
you do your very best to take advantage of it whenever
announcing yourself as a vegetarian. Why don't you
just say you're lively, if that's what you really mean?
