And that has also previously been my understanding.

And God damn your fucking sense of entertainment.

Sensitive wee thing aren't you.
And I think Oxford have it wrong if they think anything that provides entertainment can be considered 'amusing'.
Perhap erring on the side of PC.
Dictionary.com describes it as

amusing
[uh-myoo-zing]
adjective
1.pleasantly entertaining or diverting:
an amusing speaker.
2.causing laughter or mirth; humorously entertaining:
an amusing joke.

Notice how it does say entertaining but qualifies it as 'pleasantly' entertaining.
But in the context of this thread I consider it to be meaning 2.
I mean boxing provides entertainment but I doubt anyone would consider it 'amusing' or 'pleasantly' entertaining.
Well maybe sometimes.


Perhaps we should ask Diaw, the OP, whether he meant amusing in the sense of anything that provides entertainment or amusing in the sense of causing laughter or mirth, to be HUMOROUSLY entertaining.
