[QUOTE="revanneosl, post: 57454622, member: 179788"] Language shifts and changes all the time. I've had my nose rubbed in this fact repeatedly over the years, because I used to one of the great language purists of all time. I went to the mat insisting that the word grey is spelled with an "e" and [B]not[/B] with an "a". Also, it's "hiccough" not "hiccup" for heaven's sake. One thing can be different from another thing. It absolutely [I]cannot, under any circumstances[/I] be "different [B]than[/B] another thing. Don't even get me started on flaunt & flout. And the worst, most horrible, most disgusting, stinkiest piece of linguistic wrongness ever to be perpetrated - and it happens right here on CF every [B]single[/B] day - using the word "man" when you mean "people". Language shifts & changes all the time. The word "marriage" is going through a change - don't fear it. Embrace it. Oh, and [B][I]Heterodoxical[/I][/B] - the constitutional principal you forgot the name of, it's "full faith and credit." Article IV, Section 1. It's the reason that DOMA is unconstitutional on its face, and the reason that all of those [I]stupid stupid[/I] State Constitutional Amendments trying to "define marriage as between one man and one woman" are destined to get thrown on the same manure pile as the Texas anti-sodomy laws.
