EndorseThinking!
This seems like a strange question to ask thumbsup.gif However, sometimes I really think that these really do not exist. When I see it in a writing or hear it from somebody, it strikes me as strange that a person would make it sound like fact, when I then think about "well, small to us is big to an ant, and huge to us is medium to a giant [pretending they exist for argument's sake whistling.gif ]." If you look in something like a scientific report, I find it improbable that you would find such terms in it. In any credible fact, such words are not there, otherwise they are replaced with more specific words [this is an assumption that may be incorrect and disproveable].What I don't like is when people call things "weird" or "normal." I do not believe in a "normal," because somewhere else, it could as easily be seen as "strange." When people call other people weird, I think that is an ignorant (this might be a little too strong of a word) opinion. If somebody is not bothered/opinionated by it doesn't care, then what is it to that person? Not neccessarily weird but not really normal is it? Such word play . . . wacko.gif
