Maybe when it comes to words and your OCD, you can try and remember that a word isn't independent of the author/speaker, and authors use words like tools. And that the speaker has one meaning in mind when using the word. It can be the wrong word but if you are aware of the author you know what they mean. Like... when i worked in the chinese restaurant, my boss thought when americans said "crispy" they meant "chewy" so when customers said they wanted their chicken extra crispy, he would pick out the pieces with more gristle bc he thought thats what they wanted. It took awhile to get him to break the habit, but in the meantime, when I heard him say "crispy" I knew he meant "chewy" even tho it was technically wrong. Wrong tool for the job, but it got the job done since I knew what he meant. Kinda like using a screwdriver to hammer in a nail. It's not the right tool, but under certain circumstances it can get the job done. Maybe that can help or maybe i just made it worse 1
jackiemarie90 Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 There is a difference of understanding facts and just plain nitpicking on labels that the left pushes on others as an oppressive means of elitism. Giving them the facade that they know what they are talking about because they follow a certain academic standard with it's roots in colonialism. But I don't know I fuck up those labels all the time. 1
