Reply #130: Happy to oblige

I don't make the definitions, but the definitions are there so we know which words to use.

I will happily grant you that Madeline Albright has no characteristics that would cause a person to say "Hey, she's not from this country", like an accent or ethnic clothing or jewelery. In other words, she doesn't look or act "foreign", yet that is what she is.

I do not attach any negative connotations to the fact that she is a foreigner. I have one as a roommate, and work with another. I'm not saying she's a "damn dirty foreigner". But I am quite comfortable for reserving the highest elected official in the country for a native-born American.
