- akhmatova 4y agoActually, it is generally understood that the owner/proprietor of a bar is the business owner (aka license owner) -- and that this in general is not the same person who owns the bricks. A more clearcut case of semantic confusion I can see a crappy AI creating out of the blue would be: "My proprietor said if I didn't pay the rent soon she was gonna ..." Which clearly has a very different (and basically nonsensical) meaning than a the more natural formulation using the now thankfully forbidden L-word.
- causalmodels 4y agoAgreed, I was just trying give an example of why using proprietor would create confusion.
- akhmatova 4y agoRight -- the "bar's landlord" is in general not it's proprietor.
