Response to The ambigity of "dilution 1:3"

Comments about non-native speakers of the English language are not "smart-ass". Usage of language is based on generally accepted and contextual meaning, not necessarily the literal or out-of-context rules established in a dictionary that has a reputation for not being current on legitimate "popular usage". If photographers have been using this notation for 50 years, then it is about time the Oxford dictionary is changed (with respect to the usage of dilution in photography). Like you say, everyone knows what is meant, and therefore the entire subject is nothing more than beating a dead horse.
