This is a follow-up to Laurence's posting, although due to a technical glitch another recent posting appears above. Laurence said:

And what the source really proves is that, far from being a definition of Social Status, about which we in England are believed (contrary to my own experience) to be so neurotic, these words were and are very loosely interchangeable and nobody worried (or worries) in the least about which one you use.

I totally agree! And in my own private life (despite it being OT), I have noticed that "dinner" is a highly movable feast. In the Staffs Potteries, for instance, a "dinner plate" is simply a 10 inch plate - they don't care what time you use them, as long as you buy them !
