same root, usage and cultural meaning though acceptability has differed over time.

Yes, like 'colored' and 'Black'. Yet only a fucking moron would confuse the two as equally appropriate.

You literally are just repeatedly demonstrating that you don't understand connotation, and are utterly resistant to the most blatant and obvious examples of connotation possible. It's like your eyes pass over the comparison without even reading it, glossing over with the hope of, I don't know, showing off your ignorance on the internet? I mean, if you're going to get into an argument about literal semantics, you should probably at least understand the elementary-school stuff, lmao.

It is not a connotation you have issue with it is the social acceptability,

And why is it socially unacceptable?

Because of the connotations.

Thanks for playing. Try not being a moron next time.

Like, fuck, it's not every day I get into an argument with someone who literally spells out why they're wrong, lmao. That's some next-level obliviousness.

The connotations are the same and you haven’t offered any fucking proof otherwise.

The connotations are the same

You really are just gonna go out here and make this claim, huh? lol

The social acceptability is different only because of how words fall in and out of favour in the lexicon you retard.

... and why do words fall in and out of favor, sweetie?

I never argued for the acceptability for either word you retard I only pointed out your hypocrisy.

I didn't say anything about acceptability in that comment, but thanks for proving that your reading comprehension is still at the same low level it was when you started this chain.

And thanks for not answering

… and why do words fall in and out of favor, sweetie?

I wonder if it's because you don't actually read the comments you respond to, or if you actually do know on some level that answering that question would torpedo your very basic and very stupid premise?
