Interesting. Could you suggest how to rewrite that comment and express that a person noticed something (in the literal sense of the word) without using a dog whistle?
- nanoservices 5y agoInterested to know this as well. I am not sure if pointing to a definition on Urban Dictionary with ~100 thumbs is enough to redefine a word let alone assume that the average person is using it as a dog whistle.
- dylan604 5y agoIt occurred to me that... I realized that... I became aware... That's without even looking for a thesaurus. Not that I'm supporting this alt-definition of noticing, but your question seemed pretty trivial to answer.
- tomca32 5y agoThanks, that does answer the question I wrote, however my point was that I'm very uncomfortable with this environment where any innocent word could be interpreted as a dog-whistle, and was curious if any "notice" synonyms are also considered dog-whistles.
- hajile 5y agoThen it's 5 seconds before all those are "bad words" too. Maybe it's better to assume that most people in the world aren't evil degenerates unless there's hard evidence to the contrary.
