Words

Gloomy felling often pinching me to write something nasty. Its easy to get irate on the internet as well. Why do words have value? Why should someone saying something charged, if they don't mean in that way, matter? The common usage of the word in such a manner is really not that old, and currently the meanings are linked. Thats why I did it, after all.Now, for me the important thing about controlling words is actually about growing up. I understand that language is often changing, and perhaps in 30 years time it will be acceptable to use the term "nigger or native or etc" as merely expressing friendship for all races. Clearly, I am not there yet, and to claim otherwise is utterly disgenous.The thing is about language is it rarely hurts us to stop using certain words; in theory I can head to lunacy by making too many words taboo, but most stories related about not being able to say common sense words are exaggerated stories. Its not too hard, if I am honest, to see which words are charged and which are not, and I can make a conscious effort to stop saying those that are.
