Semantic split OK I edited the article to clearly differentiate between the two meanings What I was thinking was that the In economics part should move to Poverty line since in this sense being in absolute poverty means nothing more than being below someone s poverty line The material left over fot the section on how the phrase is used to mean extreme poverty is barely more than a dictionary definition and so should either be moved to Wiktionary merged with Poverty or both 04 44 24 Mar 2005 UTC
