    no hate to you but i do hate that this is one of the default responses the internet has chosen when discussing this language (twice now in this thread)

    i guess it’s like a growing pains thing, but it strikes me as very middle schooler, kind of like bringing up that one word that means unwilling to share with others.

    one is a noun/adjective, the other is a verb. entirely different words that simply have the same Latin root. one is used in a professional context in an industry nearly none of us are familiar with, the other i come across as a derogatory on this site pretty much hourly. please let’s grow up a bit about this.

    (again no hate to you specifically commenter, it was a funny joke and i just want to call out the broader trend)
