OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MercyBubbles what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Connotations decipher whether using different synonyms for the same idea, can determine if it's good or bad. To different words can have the same meaning but DIFFERENT connotations. Example|Negative connotation: #1 Burly. #2 Nerdy Example| Posetive connotation:#1 Muscular.#2 Studious. Get it? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so esoteric is positive?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(The way I view it-->) Esoteric: difficult to understand; abstruse. Like a group of people who have a certain way of thinking or speaking. This is totally up to you, does the words; Classafied, Confidential and restricted, seem offensive, or insulting. My trick to finding out if a connotation is negative or posetive is to call myself that word. So, if I were to call you esoteric, would you respond in a flattered or defensive way. Sorry for taking so long.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Honestly, I wouldn't be very flattered, if someone told me I was difficult to understand . I'd probably scream, "Am I speaking dutch!?" LOL.

OpenStudy (ashleyisakitty):

Yes, esoteric is negative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
