I don't think so. It was a snippet of historical information about a historic event.sbrothy said:Did I get it right?
The information is current, e.g. in my post, the web etc. The fact that this information is an account of something that happened in the past makes it historical.
The event itself is over and done and resides entirely in the past. There are many such events that fit this description, e.g. I brushed my teeth this morning, so that alone does not make them historic. A historic event is one that, in addition to being over and done, affects subsequent events and alters "business as usual.". The schism between the two churches was such an event. The Russian Revolution was another.
Why are you asking? Do you feel guilty for indulging yourself once in a while? Have you pondered about the distinction between electric and electrical? We have electrical engineers figuring out electric fields; we do not have electric engineers figuring out electrical fields.sbrothy said:Do I have too much free time? :)
