You say degrade, most others say evolve. If not for evolution of the language we'd all still speak the language of Chaucer and would have no word for ''airplane''.
I'm like more upset by like verbal ticks such as adding ''like'' every like other word.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

We would have a word for airplane. We'd also have words adequately defined instead of bastardized to appease the dullards of the world.

Look at the word faggot and you'll see what I mean.here is a hint. Faggot of wood.
So it is "incorrect" that the word "faggot" also means (slur for) gay male? It is only the faggot of word definition that is correct? That's what you mean?
It's a slur because we as humans have allowed our language to change/degrade as our culture has become more "stupid" and less eloquent.
You are not replying to the question I pose. Wether or not it is "stupid" is another subject matter. Let me try again: Is it true or false that the word "faggot" is used as a word to describe a gay male?

I love our language in its earlier forms. We possess the greatest language in the history of our species. Only the Italians come close.

Icelandic sounds cool as shit, though. I don't get how Scandanavians in general took a language that was scary as fuck and feminized it. But Icelandic still sounds right.

You should worry a little that it was entirely credible that you truly believed in something like that. ;) But fair's fair, you get points for a good bit of self-satirizing. :clap:
