An MIT linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative."

A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

I think this stems from the complexities coming out of genders.

So if bisexual is you fancy a bit of males and females, then what about a man who identifies as a woman or vice versa... you might not fancy that.

Pansexual incompasses this and prevents confusion and awkward conversations I guess...

Couldn't care less whatever people want to call themselves. Just curious as to peoples reactions are as its more likely now that you could "pull" someone in a club without knowing their true/original gender!

The one that really gets on my blue, coal, crested, willow, marsh and great is when people say "gift" instead of "give" or "gifted" instead of "given". if they mean "I was given it as a present or gift" then why don't they say so!

[foxy]

One that grates on me which is harder to mispronounce, is aksed instead of asked.

I too am confused - despite the multitude of definitions; mainly because someone keeps adding to the various degrees of sexuality.

I had just got used to LGBT (Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender) and then somebody wanted to add a "Q" for "Queer" - and years of re-educating myself to NOT use the word went down the tube!

There is another 21 letters in the alphabet to go...
