...but don't you think that would give a more accurate mental picture
to people?  Then again, linguistic determinism is unpopular these days,
isn't it?  So, I guess we could call them "wumpussed" just as well.

I've always wondered whether there should be a marketing vs
anti-SW-linguists battle, as I can't see how both views can be true.

Wildly OT, sorry.
