    Semantics. It’s genocide then. Or some other more technical term. There’s a word for it, who cares? Everyone knows what we mean. And that’s the point of words. To covey a meaning from one mind to another.

    If you want to play the semantics game and abolish in-context definitions of words, then abolish all slang and idioms too.
