more analogies that have no other purpose but to oversimplify and confuse the topic. I can’t fault you though, if this is the best way you can understand language. you tried your best after all.
if the intent of the speaker is misunderstood by the listener it’s the listeners fault for misinterpreting and failing to understand contextual intonation.
simply put, the speaker speaks and the listener listens. intent is conveyed through our words and their meaning. if the listener misinterprets the meaning based on context given, it’s the listeners fault.
have you observed that when listening to the speech of someone who is classically educated that their vocabulary seems to be endlessly descriptive and their intent often lost on the uneducated masses? that those with higher education are often ostracized or mocked because they are perceived as “thinking they’re better”.
that’s because the uneducated masses fail to understand the meaning of the words they speak. the peasants fail to understand the nobility of the spoken word. they simply use common to communicate with their simpleminded friends and neighbors.
I’m sure at this point you have clearly understood my intent of this comment.
On the contrary, a skilled orator adjusts the message to suit the audience, and a skilled craftsman chooses the tool best suited to the task.
However, your intent here seems to be primarily to offend, rather than to convince or persuade, as evidenced by both your word choice and the direction of your statements - this is your choice of course, and I will similarly choose to ignore it!
it’s impossible to convince anyone who refuses to see. all that’s left is to openly mock them in their refusal.
and before you make the assumption that I’m refusing to see, let me reject that opinion. I see the term “retarded” is triggering to some, frankly I don’t care. a word is a word and unless directed at you shouldn’t be a topic that causes an emotional response.
“this board game is retarded” is not the same as “you are retarded”. much the same as "people are the worst " is not the same as “you people are the worst”.
it’s a descriptor that modifies the intensity and volume of the rhetoric.
this brand of censorship is annoying as best and infuriating at worst. anyone who is triggered by words in context needs to get over themselves. the world doesn’t need to cater to you and your insecurities.
downvote or mock me all you want, I won’t change my position just because a bunch of people and their infantile preferences demand it.

if not, read a book.
