Languages as I see them..are interesting. Interesting how the fluidity of a language influences the user(s).

I really wish I had someone interesting to talk to in sign
I learned ASL from TheBitchCreature/the AFF resident at the time personality disordered hellb1tch when It lived out of my pocket here.

The light blinds
So behold darkness as our new light
In our darkness we can see
So with others blindness
We take flight.

I'm not sure what we're disagreeing over.

Dictionaries are compiled by lexicographers to document the usage of terms. If a common usage is not in a dictionary, it means the lexicographers missed it or deliberately excluded it.

If you did some research on eugenics, instead of looking it up in a dictionary, you'd be more informed about what is relevant to the topic.

Contrary to what many neurodiverse people think, language is not something you get to redefine as it suits your worldview. I say "neurodiverse people" because I've spotted a few aspies and auties who like to redefine language based on their personal agenda. Go to chatautism, sometime. You'll find one guy named "beware" who does it nonstop. (He is otherwise fluent in english)

Best grouping of posts--
all fine points!
ahhh, language, not the same as communication.

Loving the actual discussion of godwin's law does not always have to apply -- not necessarily meaning the conversation is over.

(It is hard to know what people are disagreeing about at times) maybe they are not disagreeing at all but are sharing...and expounding and refining...)

(Great thread.. now I have pages and pages to read later)
