Ewwwww, I can't go with procreating on my juice. Here's a novel idea. Why not call it steeping. Everyone's been saying that forever anyway, so nobody can be confused. Only a couple of people have a problem with the word, which is beyond me on why, so let's just use it. Yes or no?
No Can Do.
Steeping is a Terrible Term for what people do to e-Liquids. You know it. I know it. Everyone but the Rubes know it.
Just because it’s simple or what “they” want to use doesn’t make it right. It’s Kinda what’s wrong with Education currently.
It used to be that even if something was hard or took effort, that it was worth doing because it was correct. Now Slang and Sloth rules the world. Heaven help someone if they swim upstream and want to use a more Precise Term or a Proper Phrasing. It's the 2%.
And what do we care if Newbies get all Befuddled and Confused? Newbies are Always Befuddled and Confused. Who cares? Their Newbies. That’s what they do.
We Shouldn’t have to lower ourselves to the Lowest Common Denominator (Unless your Adding or Subtracting Fractions. In which case, ANY common Denominator works) just so some Newbie doesn’t get confused.
It’s like passing some kid to the next grade level that can’t do Math just because his peer’s will make fun of him. Don’t worry if he Can’t figure out how much PG is in his e-Liquid. The big issue is that he doesn’t get Ridiculed or Confused. Right?
And beside. This is the Steeping Symantec Zone. Where we can toss out better terms to describe what happens to e-Liquids than the term “steeping” free from Status Quo thinking.
There are 2,000+ threads concerning "Steeping". Can’t there be 1 Counter-Steeping Nomenclature Thread?
Is that too much to ask?
