Jerry: "No, what I am arguing is that the word "strike" meaning
miss was a development from the idea of "striking"at the ball and attempting to
hit it."
Karl: "This is what I originally speculated, and at the time my understanding was that
you rejected this idea."
Jerry: No, Karl. Your memory is faulty here. I always argued that by a series of steps, "strike," meaning to hit, came to mean to miss. So strike means to hit the ball and foul it off. Strike means to swing and miss. And strike means to stand there and watch the ball and the ump calls it a strike, when you haven't even swung or attempted to hit it. I never argued anything differently.
