But when you start censoring language this won't be a place I'd want to post at anymore. But since I'm a theist, no great loss.

Quote: I'm under the impression that semantics is the definition we put on words, surely if you're talking about the meaning of a word you're talking semantics?Semantics is the study of meanings, the historical and psychological study and the classification of changes in the signification of words or forms viewed as factors in linguistic development. But you never mentioned anything to do with the meaning of the word "evolutionist" at all. All you said was that its a silly word.
