Dimensions

To measure anything you need something called "dimension". Shite am I right?

Yep I am in shite, check this.

Encarta® World English Dictionary, North American Edition says:

"di·men·sion [ di ménshən, dī ménshən ]
noun (plural di·men·sions)
Definition:
1. measurement of size of something: a measurement of something in one or more directions such as length, width, or height"

And then:

"6. mathematics coordinate for space and time: a coordinate used with others to locate a point in space and time"

Compact Oxford English Dictionary says:

"dimension
/dimensh’n, di-/
• noun 1 a measurable extent, such as length, breadth, or height. 2 an aspect or feature. "

Now my question is simply, "Is time a dimension?"

OK wise man Define Fucking Dimension without going abstract?
