    There is no “but still”. Here’s the thing about language - it is constantly changing. Words change their meanings all the time. I cannot go to the 18th century and use modern vernacular and not be misunderstood, nor could I go to the 22nd century and use it and not be misunderstood. Quit acting like English is some static thing that hasn’t changed. You’re showing exactly how ignorant and uneducated you really are, even without having to use such an ignorant term as “rainbow press”.

      Wow. Really nice. Thing is, English is not my native language and I therefore am
      A) influenced by my native language when it comes to the more nuanced meanings of words
      B) speak without the set of ideas in mind you seem to have attributed me with because I literally do not belong into your political system
      C) made a translation error with the term “rainbow press” for tabloids because
      D) English is not my native language
      E) have not made any political statement or anything to be opposed that strongly

      But yeah, calling a foreigner “uneducated” for being not on the same page as you regarding the evolution of words in your language is a really educated move, good Sir. I, the lowly foreign peasant bow before your superior education, good Sir. I am so sorry, good Sir…
