`USAGE NOTE:
`In its primary sense dilemma denotes a situation
`in which a choice must be made between alternative courses of
`action or argument. Although citational evidence attests to wide-
`spread use of the term meaning simply "problem" or “predica—
`ment" and involving no issue of choice, 74 percent of the Usage
`Panel rejected the sentence Juvenile drug abuse is the great di-
`lemma of the 1980’s. I It is sometimes claimed that because the
`di— in dilemma comes from a Greek prefix meaning "two," the
`word should be used only when exactly two choices are involved.
`But 64 percent of the Usage Panel accepts its use for choices
`among three or more options in the example Ph.D. students who
`haven't completed their dissertations by the time their fellowships
`expire face a difficult dilemma: whether to take out loans to sup~
`part themselves, to try to work part-time at both a job and their
`research, or to give up on the degree entirely.
