[Sca-cooks] Word usage was Re: remove vs course

[Anne-Marie Rousseau]

on "merchants row"...
a number of us authenticity wonks are promoting the term "market", "marketplace" 
or "merchants" as in "visiting the merchants"

am not sure how "merchants row" came to be in the first place?

--Anne-Marie, who serves courses and calls herself a cuisinier when running a 
kitchen, a hall steward when coordinating servers, etc and uses the term autocrate 
because everyone knows it and its at least a real word  (unlike the other 'crat 
designations! ;)
