In Search of Oz

While searching for a Wizard to give him some courage, a cowardly troll posts a definition and a comment:
niggardly - grudgingly mean about spending or granting; stingy.

A basic understanding of the English language would serve you well.
Any educated person is fully aware of the denotation of the offensive word 'nigger'.

My point, which I thought I made clear, is that while the word clearly means one thing, it is always interpreted as nothing more than a racial slur.

It's all about reading comprehension.

And to my anonymous (and first) troll, on your search for courage, follow the Yellow Brick Road, avoid the flying monkeys, and keep reading your dictionary. I wish you luck.
