That's really a lark! Someone from KENTUCKY playing cyber English teacher? Holy cow! Next it will be definitions of nonmonosyllabic words as we move along. I'm impressed! "Legally Rob"? That apparently was the title of the undelivered book. I'm sure we all appreciate your supercilious post....uhhh...maybe not. . Using the definition base you so generously provided, I find:(defining "rob")"3. a. To deprive unjustly of something belonging to, desired by, or legally due. . Notice the "or" in that definition? Accordingly, we may disregard "legally due". That leaves us with: "To deprive unjustly of something belonging to, desired by". Frankly, that defines many new and used car sales which are, unfortunately, quite legal. . Speaking of "aptitude", <(Noun- aptitudo, from Late Latin, fitness, from Latin aptus 1 a : INCLINATION, TENDENCY b : a natural ability : TALENT 2 : capacity for learning : APTNESS 3 : general suitability)> you ain't (contraction of "are not") the sharpest pencil in the box,yourself sweetie! I assume you're female with a wussy name like Francis.

Susan Applegate did, at one time, have a workable "How to Rob" publication. It was enttitled "How to Rob Internet users of $34.00" and was her best seller.
