Speaking of offense, Hydra; confess I'm a bit surprised at your vehemence.
I proceeded in the spirit of the statement, to which zmjezhd cautiously agreed, that robust, energetic debate is healthy. Honest to God I didn't intend to sound "vehement". My bad. I apologize.
what an absolute oyster carnival!
Classic tsuwm. Too clever to be clear.
Have you ever seen more helpful people than them?
No. You are right. Nor have I met anyone who knows more about words and language than these two. But this point is beside the point; it is, in fact, an
ignoratio elenchi. I assume zmjezhd started this thread, not to simply to announce an opinion (that is what blogs are for), but to start a discussion. I have contributed more than anyone else to the discussion, and I am still trying to figure out what zmjezhd is
really saying.
Back on topic, zmjezhd, which of these, in plain English, is your contention:
A) People often seek a single word when sometimes a nominal phrase is necessary. For example, there is no single word for post-traumatic stress disorder.
B) People often seek words for things instead of just describing them. This is
annoying (insert alternative adjective if necessary).
C) Other. (Please explain).
