Skipped . I think everyone made it loud and clear how they felt about the AB changes . But still I would have liked to give feedback for every other aspect of the update . <| sep |> Words are tools . If they are good tools , people will use them . If you have to ask people to use them in order for them to get used at all , that is a good indicator that the words are not good tools . Marathon , Snickers . Im not going to argue you with you because youre obviously both a stubborn and a dull and also frankly an unreflective person . However , I think youll find that these two names are interestingly indicative of the fact that its less about whether or not you have to ask so much as the manner of asking that will or will not precipitate a linguistic change . Its also apposite given the minority of stick in the muds who stubbornly insist on using the old name over the new , and come up with all sorts of halfarsed arguments explaining why its too difficult for society to do something that society is quite happily getting along with without them . In other words , it isnt us honey , its you . My punctuation here is another example . Given that im typing on mobile and at a person to whom i have no intention of making empty gestures of respect , ive cheerfully missed out my apostrophes . However , given an air of mutual due deference and respect , i find it not only natural but easy to make the mental effort to switch over to the other keyboard window to go looking for the litgle blighters . Perhaps this would run up against your but pronouns are special argument . My empirical claims against your vague a priori claims . So by it . As you obviously dont have any interest in actually assessing the validity of that claim , nor its applicability to the counterarguments to which you have applied it , I think we can agree to let it fall by the wayside as an ad hoc adjunct to your other false or unverifiedunverifiable claims the whole thing resting uneasily , each beam relying on the uncertain settlement of the other . Its not a bad way of making an argument in public because of course the public will believe anything , but isnt a strong way of proving your argument either .
