Research can be valuable and informative if it approaches its subject in a non-biased, factual manner.  Your recent definition of "manufactured home" however immediately casts your research intentions into serious doubt with such prejudicial, outdated, and uninformed terminology.<\/p>\n

Official, legal, definitions are available on many state and national government websites and will provide you a more balanced and timely reflection of the state of manufactured homes in 2013.  I request that you update your own definition using one of these, without the insertion of your flawed and outdated misunderstanding of today's manufactured homes.<\/p>\n

Should you need any additional assistance in defining manufactured homes, please contact me and I will be happy to provide you with correct information.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

MHProNews<\/b><\/i> thanks MHI's Dick Jennison, Lisa Tyler's (Walden University) heavily documented letter<\/a>, Georgia Manufactured Housing Association's Jay Hamilton<\/a><\/u>, MHRetailer Jody Anderson<\/a><\/u> and MHC manager James Cook<\/a><\/u> for their published responses to this issue, along with the others who have directly addressed wordnet@princeton.edu<\/b><\/a><\/u> to ask them to update their flawed definition of manufactured home. We have word from sources that other efforts will be made to encourage Princeton to update this obvious error. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Until <\/em>Princeton's Wordnet Team<\/a><\/u> has made a proper update, please take a moment and add your voice to these and other respected industry professionals who have emailed <\/em>wordnet@princeton.edu<\/a><\/u> <\/b><\/em>asking them <\/em>to correct their flawed online definition. You could use one of the examples given by others linked above, or write your own, but please do write them. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
