Nice of you to include a TL;DR at the top accurately describing your comment! Maybe mark it as such next time, though.
According to social norms originating from bronze age mythology and oppressive edicts derived therefrom. Do try to keep up with modern society.
That makes no sense. The definition of successful use of language is expressing what you intend to express in the ideal manner for your specific purposes. A lack of versatility would hamper any efforts to achieve that goal.
Only when used improperly, like with any word.
If you substitute every other word with the word "maybe", that's a sign of poor vocabulary too. Using the word "maybe" at all bears none of the blame, though.
Are you trying to claim that swearing is socially acceptable in modern society? You wouldn't swear in your customer service profession and you wouldn't swear to someone you respect.
I would argue as someone who doesn't natively speak english that words with double- or multimeanings (versatile) are hard to learn and interpret in language. They pave way to misunderstanding and by nature limit the richness of the language.
I would claim that using swear words are mostly if not always used inproperly.
But writing this response I'm increasingly willing to blame cultural differences. My mother language is very hard to learn and in it you would add a suffix to add versatility to a word. I'd say we come from different places and respect different things in language.
As per your suggestion:
TL;DR: Shit happens, rally helps. Good talk, have a good one.
Absolutely.
That depends whether I have a boss with the same antedeluvian views as you.
Categorically false. On the contrary, I have absolutely zero respect for arbitrary censorship, especially when enforced by abusing a position of authority.
As someone whose native language isn't English either, that's part of the fun of language: that it has nuance and context-based variations. You might as well argue that idioms should be banned 🙄
See also: humor, less rigid expression, creativity. Those are probably not concepts you have any first hand experience with, but go ahead and look them up.
Ambiguity and flexibility limit the richness of language?? I'd ask what you're smoking, but you seem too uptight to ever try something fun.
They are if you have no understanding about how language works. Then again, so are all other words in your doubtlessly very limited vocabulary.
Same with mine, tbh. Danish is a very weird language. Some would say downright bizarre and I'm not sure if I disagree..
..is your weird native language Finnish? Because rally racing is extremely popular in Finland 😛
I'm inclined to disagree on the first half but yeah, have a nice day lol
Yeah, Finnish.
I don't respect your hostility in the discussion. This comment reinforces that you and me merely have fundamentally differing opinions about the matter and there will be no conclusion.
As for the rigidity of the discussion: I'm of the school of thought that strives for efficient communication and of the paradigm that things should argue, not people. I'm in this to learn stuff and learn about your opinion, not to clash with you.
But I've come to realize that internet forums generally are filled with people who get empowered with argumentation errors and thus attempt at civilized discussion tends to be fools errand.
You seem to have interesting opinions and so if you'd like to continue this discussion further, my Matrix handle is in the bio.
