NO WORD CAN BE 100% DEFINED
I have noticed that often racists and bullies want to force down the idea that certain words cannot be 100% defined and so should be removed from our vocabulary. Well the reality is no word can be 100% defined. Bullies and racists want to ban the word racist and bully as they say the words cannot be 100% defined. Well no word at all can be 100% defined.
You give me any word and it will have different meanings to some people it will always be difficult to define where the word starts and ends. And if you want to you can claim that any word has ambiguity just as the racists do with the term racist. Even numbers cannot be 100% defined, there is always ambiguity in any classification. So if you want to ban certain words on that basis you would have to ban everything. For instance when you say the number one do you mean 1.1 , or 1.2, or do you mean, 1 as in the royal one or the number one. When you say the number one do you mean do you mean as a number or as a symbol. Are you using the word numerically or as text not to be used for mathematical calculation. So you see you can take any word and play around and try and claim that there are different meanings to the word and that there are. We can all play pedantic games and try and claim certain words should be banned because they have different meanings to some.
You can do this with any word, and classification. That does not mean we should ban words or classifications. In the late nineties racists started claiming this was an excuse to ban terms they fealt were "politically correct". Well does that mean we should ban the use of nation, or conservative, or nay nation. For instance what is Britain can you define this nation 100%. Some would say Britain is all the nations that were in the empire, and do you seriously think everyone would agree with the definition. Some would say it is only the island. Some would say it is just the area the Romans declared as Britannia. Some would say it is all the islands anof the UK Some would include the sea. Some would include the air. Some would not count the Celtic nations. Some would not count England in retaliation.
