My comments are accurate. Please watch who you're calling a liar.

From Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary,
Deluxe second edition

convenience, 3rd meaning
"that which gives ease or comfort or makes work
less difficult and complicated;"

functional, 1st meaning
"pertaining to a function or functions"

with function, 2nd meaning
"a special duty or performance required of a person or thing
in the course of work or activity;"

Now Giles, get in the last word, I'm done with you.

oo
