this is circular logic
> Hitting colloquially gives the impression of a closed-fist.
it does not
> And if you're hurting the child you aren't spanking, you're beating.
what the hell is spanking then? you're not hitting the kid or hurting the kid apparently. is it just another term for a 'stern talking-to?'
- MrOwnPut 4y ago> this is circular logic Are you trying to get into a semantic debate because you don't want to do the philosophical one? You're choosing words with a connotation you know are more extreme. So you avoid basic words like slap and use a basic word like strike. For the connotation. > Hitting colloquially gives the impression of a closed-fist. You don't speak for all of society. So we're 1:1 right now. Let's take a poll. When describing a fight, you see one person using open hand, one person using closed fist. You wouldn't say one is slapping, one is hitting? > what the hell is spanking then? you're not hitting the kid or hurting the kid apparently. is it just another term for a 'stern talking-to?' It's the fear of the whole process. It's the next level after being sent into the corner or something.
