- tempodox 2y agoYou can change the world if you make it easier to meet a need enough people have. Persuading everyone they're holding it wrong is not that.
- zepolen 2y agoThose are exactly the same thing if you convince everyone they are holding it wrong by holding it right.

- lukan 2y ago"You can change the world if you make it easier to meet a need enough people have" True and should not be forgotten in this debate. But clear communication is a need many people have.

- __MatrixMan__ 2y agoPersuasion by argument, maybe not. But if you simply ask for clarification when you hear "nth century" but not when you hear "n-hundreds" then you've effectively made it easier for the speaker to meet their need one way over the other way. Same thing for "this weekend" when. Not spoken during a weekend.
