See.... easy when you define all the terms to suit your ends and gloss over the messy bits.
Back the truck up here. Beeping and all. beep beep beep. Definitions of words can never be perfect. This use of the part of the definition you recognize (suits a specific end)and glossing over the messy bits is a huge practice.
Language isn't perfect, it has flaws every language has vaugue words and times when the same word can be used to mean two drastically different things. Therefore our method of communication still leaves some guesswork!
There are a ton of words used around here that I'm starting to think we all have our own different definitions of. Most of those definitions to meet our own ends with a whole lot of gloss on the messy parts.
So is it fair to single out one person for this?
