+195 Striking through things that are not true rather than deleting them or just not typing them in the first place is a completely --retarded-- //legitimate// way of expressing yourself, amirite?

Lol no, it's just so stupid. I mean, if you'd seen a post that said "Women who don't control their children are so technical" you'd laugh at the misuse of the word, right? That's how I see this.

You're being a little bit rhetorical don't you think?

Just simplifying the comparison to make it easier to relate to it.

Women who don't control their children are pretty technical.

How about getting your own facts straight BEFORE correcting others? If you actually read the dictionary, you would know that the word "legitimate" can be defined as "reasonable", which makes sense. Stop trying so hard to be a smart-ass.

Well, if you look up "technical" one of the definitions is " of or relating to technique". So my above sentence could be talking about a mother's tehnique in raising children. It still sounds fucking stupid though, because people never use that word in such a way. Same goes for "legitimate", which has been misused and overused by every teen or preteen ever. Besides, "reasonable" is a synonym, not a definition.

Are you like one of those people who doesn't believe in creating new words for things? If the majority of people understand a word to mean a certain thing then what does it matter whether it's the official definition? Definitions are added to words all the time, people use them and accept them as definitions of the word even though they're not in the dictionary, and then they get put in the dictionary because that's what the word means to the people who choose to use it, it's not as though anyone had an issue understanding the post despite how horrendously out of context the word was.

But why? There's already a word for what the OP meant -- "reasonable". Why on earth would they try to "create a new word" with one that already has an appropriate definition. Just leave it be, and use the other one. And why the hell is your name Nacklefoodle.
