: I find this hard to believe -- did you look under the definition for the word "group"? There should be a definition like "a mathematical set that is closed under a binary associative operation, contains an identity element, and has an inverse for every element." The phrase "mathematical group" wouldn't be there, but "group" should. I'm looking at a copy of M-W right now. --[[User:Prenvolost|Prenvolost]] 11:54, 18 September 2009 (EDT)

::Calm down, Prenvolost. We all know that the online edition can depart from print editions. It sounds like you're trying to play gotcha, but we don't do that here. If you want to clue us in about something, don't hit us with a clue stick but phase your suggestions politely. Then you'll be welcome to stick around. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 12:12, 18 September 2009 (EDT)
