just trying to explain my position here
Etymology doesnt always determine meaning, it's ultimately up to usage or a specialist authority (like the DSM for one)
^
your position is, why have the words changed meaning, the actual words havent changed meaning at all
I'm trying to understand your position, but I'm not understanding the point you're trying to make.
still waiting on that IAU decision on what a CME is though
He's saying they've become so similar it's virtually worthless to have two different terms at this juncture I believe
like dysmorphia is still in line with its greek origin
Coronal mass Ejaculation.
still buggering around with planets
And that we should come up with a new one
Miss spell it on a paper Torch
Please
never
International Astrophysics Union?
fuck
yep
Ruger I feel you're missing context, because Nip Crippler and Mad King were actually using it in place of Dysphoria contextually earlier, which sparked off the whole thing
Damn
what did they say?
in regard to my connotations
Nip was specific with the use of it through out this conversation.
how is that wrong?
like using dysmorphia as a standalone word to describe the disorder throws me off
Throws you off.
they're not wrong, it's just fucking confusing
But you were arguing the point.
in context its obvious what they were refering to
sure, I wasn't literally confused by the conversation
just every time I'd sperg out on the usage
wait
like someone using an instead of and
so its a u problem
That's what I mean.
Soooooo
Are we okay?
No complaints?
in the context of "body dysmorphic disorder" everything they said is fine, in the context of "the word dysmorphic on its own" every single time dysphoria is more correct outside of the specific use in the psych field butchering it
/facepalm
