point blank has nothing to do with range
Retard. That's literally the opposite of what the article says.
Yes, I worded that incorrectly, but my point was the phrase is generally used improperly. It has something to do with range, but range is not the defining factor.
Except it's not. Like the word gay it means something different that what it originally meant.
Language changes over time. We may lament that Socialism now means government stealing from the people, but that's not what it meant in the 30s.
You're a faggot, and that argument (just like every other time I've heard it) is the worst argument there is. "Lol, language evolves. Yes, things change, I get that. Now, people say shit like "it be like", "tho", "ain't", "xer", "my bad", "baby daddy"... I could go on for days. That doesn't make it fucking right. It makes us dumber, as a whole. People call cartridges "bullets." They call magazines "clips." Do we just say "fuck it" & let language evolve, or do we correct them of their ignorance?
Edit: In regards to the word "Gay", it still means "happy." The problem isn't with language & semantics in this case, the problem is with faggots. They stole that word from normal people, just like they stole our fucking rainbows.
