Forum Discussion / Re: Is "Literate" the right term to use? [Just an OPINION, open minds appreciated]
« on: July 06, 2013, 03:20:27 am »
Well, I believe the terms are used loosely when referring to their ability to type. For a long while people have been using literate, semi-literate, and illiterate to describe the quality of their RPs typing skills.
I understand the terms are being used wrong, but it's been going on for so long it'd be weird for it to change.
In all honesty, I think it is fine how it is, even if it is being used wrong. FH has kind of given it a different meaning for a different context, which is indeed weird. It's just been that way for a while, and it's easier to say than anything else. To just say lit, semi-lit, and unlit is pretty simple.
It has just sort of grown on us, ya'know. As others have mentioned, using some terms would lead to people excluding others, and may end in conflict. Because yes, some people will get angry over little things like that.
