I can actually make it through most conversations without these
words, so I don't have to have an opinion on this yet. I'd
rather have words for things like "wall", "mirror", "stairway"
and such. And I'd REALLY like a word that describes the state
that lies between and includes the concepts of "be innocent" and
"be insensitive". I'm about ready to make up an English word
"innocensitive", but I doubt it will catch on.
