I generally prefer to go with the broadly accepted meaning of a word instead of making them on the fly, it tone done the confusion quite a bit. Whatever what you are describing is called, a thing is sure, it's not "mature". Doesn't mean much in truth, not without explaining the meaning you give to at least 3 or 4 word in that sentence. I am not trying to be an ass here, it's just that having a discussion of this kind where everybody got it's own definition of the word is pretty pointless. |
No
That's actually one of the definitions of the word, hold on.
