Amelioration or perjoration of words

[Inchante]

Indeed, human... from the Latin, humanus :tongue:

Sorry, I just found the irony somewhat amusing.

Hmmmm . . . sorry. That was clumsy of me. Though, I did think people could infer for themselves the difference between scientifically based compounds (e.g. homosexual/heterosexual) of Latin and/or Greek origin from the thousands of other Latinate words that we have in English. The words homophile and androphile are based on the same standard of scientific terminology as homosexual. That is what I was referring to. Thanks for pointing that out to me Collin, and I am sorry that it confused you. We should make a deal: We should both promise to more clearly delineate our points in the future. And as a part of the compact, I won't even stick out my tongue at you.
