Here in the Midrealm, they use the word fighting to mean either armored or rapier - mainly because saying fencing isn't fighting is mildly offensive. Of course, they don't use epees out here, and if you fight with something as light as a schlaager, they make fun of you.

But armored and rapier are the two main uses, I think.

Rattan Symposium is funny though! And I do like funny. I think its Irony, though it might merely be sarcasm...I can never tell.
