Words matter:
"In the beginning was the word ..."
Well, that was in the beginning, before the politicians involved themselves.
Now, in their desperation to confuse us all into compliance with their never-ending absurdities, they have refined and redefined and counter-defined words to such an extent that even when we have the meaning explained to us, we cannot follow the logic (because it isn't logical) or we continue to misunderstand the meaning (because it's neither constant nor consistent).
I have read this attempt to explain the latest ineluctable word game (don't panic, it's a German word) a couple of times and am still none the wiser.
Are you sure??
