`  == Severed vs. cut in two ==  Editor  made the change from ``severed`` to ``cut in two``.  ``Cut in two`` is actually more accurate, and his explanation was also correct.  ``Severed`` *isn't* quite correct.  I realize that there was a book on Short published under the title, ``Severed`` (it's in my library, in fact).  But, if you look closely at the definition of ``sever``, Short's body wasn't really severed, it was cut in two.  Definition of ``sever`` from Webster's: to put or keep apart  divide; especially  to remove (as a part) by or as if by cutting.  To put or keep apart is accurate when referring to people who have severed relationships.  Divide; especially  to remove (as a part)... doesn't fit what happened to Short's body, because her body wasn't divided into parts but actually bisected.  With all of this in mind, I think that if ``severed`` is insisted on and kept, the words, ``in two`` need to be added.  I will be making that addition after I am finished with this talk page entry.  More discussion here would be a good thing.  Thanks.    `
