It's been said before, and no doubt will be said again. Apologies. I just like words, and get a bit precious when they are misused. It debases language, and the point of language is to communicate effectively. The misuse of words leads to ineffectual communication.

You assume that I'm on B3ta for effectual communication.
I assure you that I'm not.

but that's precisely why you're a cunt
And people don't like communicating with you. You make it overly complex to the point where you are self deprecating.

'the point of language is to communicate effectively'
While some modernist philosophers (who looked to the simplicity of logic) - and the linguists who wished their language was as ordered as the dead language of Latin - viewed language to be aimed at effective communication,
others like Marx, Freud, Nietsche and the poststructuralists showed that language (if we can view it at all as intentional) does not have any such teleology. Language can be used for power, for our unconscious desires, to abscure, to create, to discipline, to confuse.
The 'point' of language is therefore 'play'.
