    I defy you to find a single usage of illegal in contemporary writing that refers to neither laws nor games.

      I’m not your citation monkey

      I actually found one, because I was wondering if me and the dictionary were the wrong ones, but I refuse to send it because what I already sent is accurate + sufficient. You can accept or not; it’s up to you.
