[I won't quote that long
#700 post which i here refer to]
smc, you understand precisely what i mean and i wholeheartedly agree with everything that follows in your post. Thank you for making up for my shortcommings in english, which i repeat is not my mother tongue nor my usual language of expression (i also made
svartekaptenen's funny confusion the first time). The syntactic elegance of your thoughts expresses much more explicitly what i was awkwardly trying to say, even by bringing up the Kinsey scale, and of course, it expresses even much more.
Intolerance or rather should i say, a lack of acceptance is the root of the problem, but since it is so widespread in our still hypocritical (see the scale) society, you are absolutly right that we need to insist on the meaning of words relating to people's values and choices as not only to show respect and understanding but as to establish it in language. Needless to say here i did not intend to diminish in any way such a field of study as liguistic, knowing how much efforts scholarly achievments requires.
(Must say, though, i now feel a bit embarrassed having needed the help of two mods to make a point...)
PS. You can just call me "dan". "Poetman" is the domain i've inherrited from my proud ancestral family, and "the" is the nobility particle. But i'm not a snob for that matter...
