Understanding from that perspective would make it seem that way.
We all base our ideas of what people say on what we've understood the meaning of their words to be. They could have a completely different meaning of what the listener interpreted. That difference of our understanding of meaning is involuntary and shouldn't be attacked.
Someone might find a word to be negative, while someone else might find that word to be "just a word". Should the person who is offended by what they hear put aside their feelings because the other person believes that what they're saying isn't negative? You could say that they need to just suck it up and learn to accept the new. But, because the first person's understanding is involuntary, that wouldn't be so easy. It would be much easier if the second person push aside their beliefs because they don't have as much of a strong of a feeling as the first person towards what's said.
Excuse me if what I'm blabbering about makes no sense. You could disagree with me. But, what I've said to Calender can't be undone and if he has
To try and justify the notion that something may be involuntarily promoted, and, thus, shouldn't be disturbed, is absolutely outrageous. Not only are you accepting bias, but you're also dividing opinion from fact. The fact: the word does not harm the person. In many cases, the person convinces themself that it's offending to the extent of creating a standard within their head. This can lead to several emotional aspects, such as depression, but it's still ultimately due to the person's interpretation of the word (unless you consider it to harm the body physically, such as in sight and sound).
I understand that there are several attacks made to purposely harm people mentally, which are ultimately referred to as insult. However, several terms, many of which I'm currently using, can promote this same establishment. The words that fall into the catagory of being a "swear word" can be used for many things that aren't insult, such as emphasis, common referral, etc.
Regardless of the obvious points, every single word produced could be considered offensive. Does this imply that we should quit using the english language as a whole because it may lead to emotional disruption? Or, even, put ourselves in solitude due to paranoia of every inflicting event that occurs within the world? I don't think so, but you may have a differentiating opinion.
