Perhaps because Mr. Kirkley and others dont hold the same
sentiments as you and I. (I am gonna turn this into a
musically related issue--watch)........ They typically
think that there needs to be concise, neat, clearly
identifiable things in the world that they can explain,
makes em look intelligent like, like, like Mr. Pointek.
Same goes for the music, my buddy tells me, and I remember
as well that when techno first hit, it was mixed in with
rap music and the likes.....Imagine if you will, Grand Master
Flash being mixed with Tour De France........yawzers!.....
Nonetheless, there was no techno or house scene, it was
all one scene, and now, now its segregated.......Just like
our words should be......
(so if your Italian dont you dare speak German, why
that's barbaric............Sarcasm heavily emphasized)

i think language should be continually evolving,
remixed by whoever chooses to say whatever, there
are many ways to appropriate many words in new
contexts that still manage to convey their meanings,
and using words in new ways may often manage to imbue
a phrase with an more effective descriptive purpose.
if i were just slightly more daft i'd suggest that
e.e. cummings had the dopest flow of the first half
of the 20th century.
if humans ought not be segregated, then why should
words be?
