Indeed; my engish really sux I know! Thank your posting the meaning of world kill, being long time until I worked on my glossary. Frankly I said old; I didn't said obsolete; nor incomprehensive; on contrary. Didn't you read that from the message I tried to convey? I think you are going into waters we don't need to go to here. I was illustrating to the guy that everybody can find things to disslike, but at the end terminology is just names, just a combination of characters or sounds not to get attached to. > If you find yourself having > troubles or you find something not logical, please open up dictionary > and look up definitions. > The word in itself is harmless.

For the record; I have no traumas, and if I did I would certainly not ask for the advice on the Internet but I can't be not to comment your statements: Do you mean, when people have traumas, they should get a dictionary to read, to make them feel better? Because that is what you are saying! :D Is that seriously what you are claiming, or you are just trying to be ironic/sarcastic? If that is so, then I hope you are not working as a psychiatrist. That sounds a little bit odd if you believe that people have traumas because they got wrong meaning of a word. I would rather claim the opposite. Also saying people use imaginative meanings is quite a wild claim; that is somethign you would have to assert on per case basis.
