[edit] Split one meaning into two - small piece and portion
Previously you had the example "I'd like a little bit of cake", as an example fo the meaning "a small piece of something". That would make it "I'd like a little small piece of cake" !!!
And how about when someone says "I'd like a big bit of cake" - "Did they really mean I'd like a big small pice of cake" ????
No. A new meaning/sense was required - portion.--Richardb 12:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
