- mavhc 13y agoAs moot point original meant the opposite of what people use it for today, it would be better to use "mute point" and return "moot point" to its original meaning
- Dylan16807 13y agoDo you have a source on that? I mean I saw a cracked article claim that but it was severely misrepresenting the various uses of moot and I could not find any references to 'mute point' being a real phrase.
- pessimizer 13y agoI think that mavhc is suggesting that 'mute point' should be a new thing, and 'moot point' should refer to a point that has been mooted.
