We’re not discussing the wording of the Constitution here, are we? This is about the accepted and common use of the English language today. Not as it pertains to a book written during the Civil war where knowing the original meanings of words are necessary to gather the full and true gist of the times.

I’m talking about keeping some shed of logic in the English language, one of the finest constructs in human history. “Butt naked” and “Hone in on” have no rational meaning.

“Your” free to talk and “right like” you “wan’t too”. It “don’t make no difference two” me.
