Like the word ‘discriminate’, the word ‘prejudice’ has taken on a second meaning. Discriminate used to just mean to differentiate, or make a distinction. Now the second meaning is to make an unjust or prejudicial distinction. So many useful words, made unpopular by CHANGING THEIR INTENDED MEANING. But we are reminded, in the court of public opinion, words have no integrity anymore. A word can mean anything you want it to mean now. Just like the word marriage.
And gay used to mean happy. Now discriminate means to unfairly exclude, and gay means to be afflicted with a mental illness.
Well, they didn’t check with me before bastardizing the definition, so I figure the change doesn’t apply to me. Obviously I understand the new meaning when I read others’ words, but when I chose my own, I stock to the definition I accept. Screw the re-definers.
