The Importance of Precision of Language
It is becoming increasingly critical, in the attempts of maintaining the semblance of a functional, coherent society, to consistently and intentionally call things what they are—use words wisely.
I try to be precise with my language. Precision of language is obnoxiously important to me, and it's not just because I'm some "grammar Nazi."
It is becoming increasingly critical, in the attempts of maintaining the semblance of a functional, coherent society, to consistently and intentionally call things what they are—use words wisely and in accordance with their dictionary definitions!
Words have meanings; within any given society, without a shared idea of what, for each and every word, is the accepted, societally approved, linguistically correct definition—we would cease to be capable of achieving the simplest cohesive conversation, understood relatively identically by both parties on either side of a verbal interaction. Words with shared meanings are important!
Otherwise, we'll be no better than the Lefties, and their habitual enterprise of mental gymnastics [which plays a larger part than most give credit to for so much of the current ideologically driven societal decay]!
"Gender affirming care" is one of the worst offenders of the disturbing corruption of language in the west, in my opinion. There are others like it that are also intentionally used to completely twist what the average listener would perceive was possibly being discussed, and it's done nefariously in order to lessen the outrageous nature the properly worded descriptors would reveal.
The end.
