RE: Meanings Are Transient (among other things) – Drop in the Ocean – Transient
‘Transient’ covers a lot of different people and things, @free-reign. I never hear of vagrant, hobo or tramp any more...not politically correct to say . 😂
In the past, it used to be that when a meaning of a word was "retired," it was generally because whatever it had been describing, had evolved into something that needed an updated identifying name. Now, it seems words get put out to pasture for no recognizable reason other than to manipulate the conceptual content of our speech. Is it a step on the way to banned speech, AKA, the end of free speech?
Google's been really busy trying to convince world leaders to allow them to use the censorship model they developed for China, everywhere - not just in China. Can you imagine this from a company that exists and was created inside a free country? It's disgraceful.
