Thick as thieves
I found this interesting bit in Howard Berger's Hockeybuzz column:
My pal Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun has been relentless in his view that Ferguson is unfit to run an NHL team and he supports that claim with facts that have merit.
And then I saw this interesting bit of information at Dictionary.com:
fact
[fakt] -noun
merit
[měr'ĭt] -noun.
1. Superior quality or worth; excellence: a proposal of some merit; an ill-advised plan without merit.
1. A quality deserving praise or approval; virtue: a store having the merit of being open late.
2. Law A party's strict legal rights, excluding jurisdictional, personal, or technical aspects.
3.The factual content of a matter, apart from emotional, contextual, or formal considerations.
2. Demonstrated ability or achievement: promotions based on merit alone.
