But in reading some of you other responses on this thread I beleive your response to me was diengenuous.

"Consider this":
A word has whatever meaning we apply to it. This is the evolution of language. Uses are created by culture and shed or retained over time. The word, the sound itself doesn't matter, only the meanings (emotions/sensations/concepts) related to it do.
A language is something crafted over thousands of generations; you can't rework this #$%& because you don't like it.
