Hmmm, I will not call it detritus... :roll:

TDragon:
de·tri·tus
n. pl. detritus
1.  Loose fragments or grains that have been worn away from rock.
2.    a.  Disintegrated or eroded matter: the detritus of past civilizations.
       b.  Accumulated material; debris: “Poems, engravings, press releaseshe eagerly scrutinizes the detritus of fame” (Carlin Romano).

If you want to argue semantics, I can do it all day long...but since English isn't your native language, please don't. :)

2. b) Indeed, a gabbl... erm... book critic working for a some insignificant newspaper in Philadelphia is a very authorative source for a word's meaning, especially in English.  :lol:

TDragon:
I think it's supposed to be an example of usage rather than the source of the definition; anyway, it's straight from The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, so it can't be wrong, right? ;)
