You must be a hoot at parties. Getting to pick and choose what you and everyone else around you should care about and how they define terms to fit exactly what’s important to just you.
Orthography may be independent of language, but shockingly in society, it’s part of written language.
brother you were trying to "gotcha" me by saying my language is imprecise because i didn't capitalize. i'm pointing out that the two things have literally nothing to do with each other.
It’s not trying to be a gotcha, it’s pointing out the sheer arrogance to criticize someone for your own decision to take a commonly used metaphor literally, and then to go on and act high and mighty because you’ve decided to be the outlier in society who’s decided that you get to pick and choose language norms at your whim.
But you do you. I’m sure it gives some self satisfaction to pick pseudo intellectual arguments. There’s no point continuing this discussion because it’s clearly been in bad faith from the get go.
