The Definition of Emeritus
Adapted from here.
As you can all see, emeritus is not a new office, nor is it an office. It is an honorific to someone who once held an office.
So, my brothers and sisters, it does not prove in the slightest that anyone still holds that he office they are the Emeritus of.
This is why English is important, and why we should learn what words mean, lest we be led astray by lying, tax evading, schismatic frauds. ?
