And he is quite correct in how it is being misused in modern debates.

Now get off his loan before I let loose my non-existent dogs on you.


I think it's cute how Roland seems to feel the need to educate me.

That said, feel free to let slip the dogs. No need to cry havoc first.




Much of Language does not operate that way. We do not use a Spectrometer when we use the word green. And we had green prior to those scientific instruments. And green is an amorphous concept depicting a range of values.

No one calls a hot dog a taco. Yet with your logic we should.
