I have explained, in detail, exactly what I mean in regard to that word both here and at PZ's place. I DID use the word innocently and it is the best option, IMHO. She does not "advocate" the act, she does not "condemn" the act....she "condones" it. I can't think of a better one word definition, so give me one. |
Tolerates.
Or better yet:
disregard, excuse, forgive, overlook, pardon. |
No she more than "tolerates" it. She believes it can be meaningful.
As for these:
excuse, forgive, overlook, pardon
That is exactly what condone means. I have yet to be provided with another definition of "condone".
When googling, condone is always defined in the way that I used it:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/condone
http://www.answers.com/topic/condone
http://www.allwords.com/word-condoned.html
http://www.legal-explanations.com/definitions/condone.htm
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/condone
I have no idea what the problem is with the usage of that word.
