      When it comes to grammar and syntax it makes sense though. Common rules help us understand each other.

      Except that we’re talking about individual words here. It’s not as if we’re saying verbs are over now or that all sentences have to be all “Shaka, when the walls fell” or something.

      You could have made that point without being rude towards the entirety of the STEM community, but chose not to.

      You’re in a discussion about language but unable to navigate analogy? Or even just be civil and engage in a respectful manner? Maybe sit this one out.
