Would have been so much more satisfying if that were the case . They better not make the legends as easy as this . <| sep |> Oh no don ' t I know it . But I just had to be realistic . <| sep |> the visitor center is worth a visit , i found it pretty interesting , went with my parents who were living in portland at the time , and a neighbor of my dad ' s died on the mountain . At the visitor center , there is a nice little stroll down to the river . Even if you can ' t see the mountain its still beautiful . <| sep |> Isn ' t their leader the guy who lost his cat and John Oliver had viewers flood his Instagram with posts of cats asking if it was his ? <| sep |> I ' m not arguing uppercase or fuck are particularly good examples , I just tried to point out something the poster himself was doing to underline how common it is . My general point is that language isn ' t always literal andor unchanging . reason why I don ' t call my car a pontoon , my dog a werewolf , What is the reason ? Because people will fail to understandmistake what you mean , that ' s the reason . The main goal of language is to communicate . Pretty much everyone is calling those new devices hoverboards , so when you use the word everyone will know exactly what you mean . If you try calling them wheelplatforms or something , it might describe it better , but nobody will know what the fuck you mean . I am yet to meet a person that doesn ' t call them hoverboards . Even people that dislike the word know exactly what we are referring to when we use it . Maybe we could have chosen better word at the very beginning , but at this point it ' s already in common use and fighting against it is like fighting against windmills .
