    We can do both. I see what you mean in so far as “washing” like pretending that we fixed something when we really didnt, but I dont see it as a big deal, I mean, like I said elsewhere, I’ll try to switch.

    Its sometimes little things in your vocab that cause you to stop and realize how ingrained certain aspects of our culture is.

    But yeah, its not a solution. Theres a lot of things like it that you just do because its easy and you can.
