No, I'm not. Open ten english dictionaries and you'll find ten different schools of thought.

So if I open ten English dictionaries and they all agree that "onion" comes from the Latin "unionem" via the Old French "oignon", will you promise to stop dying on this hill? Given that I've already shown you three that agree on that very thing? How confident are you feeling? Actually now that I think, you said you'd looked it up but you've nothing yet to show for it, so what's your source?
