(source the comprehensive oxford thesaurus. Specially quoted here for some word web devotees). I always believe that one should stick to one's one field of knowledge and information and rarely venture into uncharted territory. And this is an excellent epitome of why not. Coming from a guy like you, who rarely watches cricket, I was never going to be blown out of my senses. Cricket purists are well known enough for any person who has seen a match played in England. Even I like Test cricket over T20 where there is an even contest between bat and ball and where there is full value for a great shot as well as a brilliant ball. And therefore, I can easily fit into the category of cricket Purists. As for the other Purists, I would be a complete iconoclast. I believe that words only offer the means to meaning. (quoted by V, for the nescient. (Pls see the second meaning in WW, all ye word web worshippers!)). Their sole objective is to convey the message the person wants to convey. And so long as its done, its fine. And that is the reason why every group develops a jargon/ a jargoon / an argot / a slang / a cant / a gobbledegook / a patois / a lingo / an idiom / a vernacular / a dialect. (source still is the same. WW lists around 7. COT lists usage wise synonyms, first all common synonyms and goes on to elaborate on jargons of specific professions.) So friends don't blame others for incorrect usage in their jargon. And specially for amateur word learners like us, it would be safer if we didn't act like 'word superstars' by clinging to a single source of words. (BTW developing new words from allusions is called neology.) Any language is too comprehensive for that. What an ostentatious manifestation of absolute benightedness!!

Oxford Dictionary defines purist as 'advocate of purity'...so I think it was ok here. The 'especially' part is there but that doesn't mean we can't use it in a parallel field! Besides, people who believe only Test cricket to be real cricket are always called purists, by media as well. Most importantly, this concept has come up..not after the rise of T-20 but one-day format of the game...so it has been around for quite a while now. Not surprisingly wiki has a whole article devoted to them. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purist#Cricket_purism" rel="nofollow">Check this out</a> P.S.-WordWeb is a very unreliable dictionary which is not particularly good if you are looking for exact meanings. I use it only because it is user-friendly and has pronunciations. But for general reference, Oxford has no substitute Thats WordWeb meaning!!

So be specific and use words whose exact meanings you know. Purist means:-Someone who insists on great precision and correctness (especially in the use of words) And according to my comprehension you have used it meaning someone who prefers, vies for things in their pure form. Something immaculate, pristine and original. Sorry for offense. Dude, you are going to appear for gre shortly.
