> It's a fucking word. There's a lot of words that require some sort of care in their use lest some of the potential connotations carried offend or don't communicate intended meaning. You might not care about this word -- or, more likely, you care very much about its use, otherwise you wouldn't be fucking talking about it like fucking pedant who is so fucking proud of his fucking adolescent pretensions of having thought about language -- but you probably care about some words and how their varied and overloaded use can affect communication. (There's a much more diplomatic way I could have my little apositive screed up in the last paragraph. That's part of the point.)
