Hard disagree. Language doesn't matter. Only communication and intent matters and language is only a servant to communication and intent.
If the intent and meaning came across and the intention wasn't to offend and the meaning is clear there is zero and I mean zero need to pretend to be offended. The cat doesn't even care and clearly no body here thinks of cats as Bluetooth speakers... what practical purpose does any of this serve? None.
It's all part of that pronoun thing started by transgender people. The desire to be recognized as a certain gender in language codified into a "law" and that law is now being taken to logical extremes in such a way that we have to use the correct term for cats. The next step is to teach cats English so they can actually be offended.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoYou shared an effective response to my opening statement - certainly more thought than I put into making it. Thanks.
- james_david 3y agoIt seems the problem you have isn't with language or its use.
- corethree 3y agoExactly. Ignore the language. Get offended by intention, don't get offended by language. My problem is other people having arbitrary problems with language.
