In the political sense I am using the term appropriately. You want to get into semantic debate and I am not really interested.
- gnaritas 14y agoWords have meaning, I'm not "wanting" a semantic debate, I'm simply telling you that the way you're using the term is bound to be misunderstood because it doesn't mean that. Take it how you will, but no you didn't use the term correctly even in the political sense as I gave you the political science definition from Wikipedia, that is the political sense.
- TDL 14y agoWikipedia is not the beginning and the end. The English has a profound ability to change. And yes, I used the term in an appropriate manner that many who debate politics understand it. Also, go argue that decimate means to destroy 10% versus what it is perceived as to mean today (more than 10%.) Words change.
- gnaritas 14y agoWords do change, you still used it wrong. Good day.
