It's not an eight sided dye is it?
NERD!
It's ten sided dice with the number depending on how many digits the random number I want is. Eight sided dice wouldn't work well in a number system that is based on a unit of ten.

Nope, I like the colour blue. Just the pens.
I wouldn't write something important using a red or green pen, because it's just not right. So why are people allowed to use blue?

I get the point, I have always used black pens too. One teacher in 8th grade made us use the blue cartridges only in a Bic fountain pen. OMG I spent half that year rewriting stuff.

I always wonder, why hatred against faggots is called "homophobia", when it ain't no fear of them in that feeling - just hostility, disgust or whatever. but "phobia" means that someone is affraid of them. who invent that incorrect term? it causes wrong interpretation.
*and the same stuff is with blue ink. why phobia, if a person hates them?
I think I am a verbalist

I don't think so. The "phobia" I believe refers to "avoidance" and "dislike" of said issue or thing. Not always "fear" of, but strong need to "avoid" because of dislike. :dunno: I could very well be wrong though. Since I'm not very educated. Its just IMO.

LadyLove, what you told is exactly the result of using that word in the terms like "homophobia" or "xenophobia" etc... but what I am trying to underline is that phobia itself, originaly, means fear, (from greek word 'fobos') and I do not like (and do understand) how it happens to transform in avoidance/dislike meaning... cuz in medicinal diagnosis, in psychiatry, it is still used to describe obsessive fears, neurosis and stuff like that.
maybe that were gays, who had suggested that word - homophobia? and they feel proud of the fact, that those who hate them, gotta be called like if they were affraid of faggots?

Please, gays not f******, its such an awful word. Anywho I don't know, still to me the word "phobia" after being attached represents something one wants to avoid for whatever reason. I suffer many and its not always a "fear" per se as much as its a "need" to avoid, the non acceptance of said thing being in my life. Sometimes a very unexplainable need, but overpowering none the less. :dunno:
While I do see where you're coming from in the technical sense, not all things to me are black and white.

In general, many words that came from ancient languages change their original meaning, or enlarge it, and its ok. but what I do not like in case of phobia, is that it is still used to describe fear, for example "arachnophobia" - for those of people who are affraid of
spiders, or "agoraphobia" - panic fear of large open areas... and some other similar words. In all that cases it means exactly the panic, the fear, the anxiety of the first part of the term. And since these terms exist at the same time as "homophobia" exists, it is kinda mishmash, you know what I'm saying? in some cases it means pure fear, in some - avoidance/dislike without fear, but it sounds the same! and as the result pederasts (f****s) are happily rubbing their hands :1orglaugh
OK, I did not create a special thread for that philological investigation, cuz I thought that random fact about myself is a better place to show my perplexity... or, better to say, to register my protest against that verbal injustice :scream:
thank you for the reply & attention to the problem!

I meant no harm and I am sorry. The post just got me to thinking also. I do realize the thread is not for discussion. You're right you posted something about you. I just saw no harm again I am sorry.
