@DavidSalo @Ironworker229 So (genuine question) does that mean all words evolve following the same path, or might that depend on the time in which the word is changed and who is doing the changing, based on their own understanding or their own choice of origin word?
@sqlcheesecake Oh, sometimes he plays with Trumper types, but he has to be in the mood. When he gets home he’ll tell me if he asked any “I’m genuinely ignorant - please explain!” questions. (That’s how he does it without arguing.)
@TheNewsOwl Curses! I didn't expect to get it THAT wrong. (Goes to read it...)
