OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, even though i've already given away the medal, if anyone has anything to add to what jordan ('s brother) said, feel free ;)

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Words were invented for technical things simply because as our world expands, unsurprisingly our vocabulary does too. If we keep using the same words for different things, we'll often confuse the new with the old, and that is not how our world should be properly spun around. How's that? XD

@KyanTheDoodle THANK YOU! that's helpful :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey, if anyone else reads this, would ya give kyan a medal for me? thx ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should close this question :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mhatton-8 i would, but i'm gonna leave it open in case anyone else has something to add

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah, ok

OpenStudy (dominantvampire):

Words are invented by necessity. If someone invents a device to produce power from steam, somebody might call it a 'steam engine'. Because you need a single word for something, like "telephone", rather than having to call it "that thing that enables you to talk to someone far away."
