I say:
At my physics class at school I was told that "a fluid is a liquid or a 
gas".  Before you all jump in and say "bxxxxxxs", I just checked it in the 
Oxford Dictionary and that confirms it.

I fully agree that air is a gas (or to be more precise consists of a number 
of gasses), but by definition, that also makes it a fluid.

Unfortunately, I am not brainy enough to comment on the rest of the 
discussions.
