Princeton WordNet Team.<\/p>\n

To whom it may concern,
\n\tFar be it from me to take issue with a definition published by such an esteemed institution as yours, I still must.<\/p>\n

A recent industry article informed me that your definition of "Manufactured Home" is as follows:<\/p>\n

"Mobile home: a large house trailer that can be connected to utilities and can be parked in one place and used as permanent housing."<\/p>\n

I am sorry, but referring to modern manufactured homes as a "trailer" or "mobile home" is akin to calling a 2013 Lexus sedan a "horseless carriage" or Princeton as a "school."<\/p>\n

It is a disservice to our proud industry who serves as housing for 8% of Americans including the poor, lower-middle class, and even millionaires (at least one in my community).  <\/p>\n

The definition belies how far our industry has come in the areas of quality and craftsmanship and subjugates us to the level of redneck\/hillbilly shacks.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your consideration on this matter.<\/p>\n

Respectfully Yours:<\/p>\n

\"james-cook-mhc-manager-ma-posted-industry-voices-mhpronews.com\"James Cook,
\n\tMHC Property Manager.

(Editor's Note: this is how Princeton's WordNet “definition” appears online in Google:<\/i><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The email address for the WordNet team is: <\/strong>wordnet@princeton.edu<\/a><\/u>  <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Please take a few moments and send them <\/em>a message of your own, or use a variation on the one <\/strong>MH Retailer Jody Anderson<\/a><\/u> sent, or like the fine one above from MHC manager James Cook, both of which we deem better than the one Tony Kovach sent, <\/strong>linked again here<\/a><\/u>.)<\/strong> <\/i><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Other messages besides these have been sent to WordNet, but we need more from You and Your MH Circle until Princeton U 'gets the message' and changes their terribly erroneous, so-called definition of a manufactured home. So take a moment now and please send a message to <\/i><\/em>wordnet@princeton.edu<\/i><\/a><\/u>. <\/i><\/em>CC <\/i><\/em>latonyk@gmail.com<\/i><\/a><\/u> <\/i><\/em>in your message to Wordnet, Thank you! )<\/b><\/i><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
