Re: Taz - Guy Smilie: 1 - 1 Who here agrees with Me?

A hamburger is different than a language. Languages are constantly changing depending on how people use them. The meanings of words depend on what most people think, unlike the origin of hamburgers. For example, gay used to mean happy. But if you said gay now, people will think you mean homosexual. But a hamburger never was and never will be Chinese food.

By the way, I thought I'd point out that this is the 100th message regarding Nathan's question.
