[thelist] OT (verbiage)

[Julia M. Countryman]

Wow!  I've never heard "uncomfortability"!  In today's vernacular,
dysfunctional implies emotional or psychological malfunction, so I wouldn't
say that my car is dysfunctional ;).

There are so many other words to us, I dont understand
why people get stuck on just one to describe both
positive and negative positions on topics
For example: It had no funcionality/ ...great
funtionality
Why not say 'malfunctioned' 'was dysfunctional'
or'failed to function   Conversely... 'perfomed' ect
My peave has always been "uncomfortability"  WHAT'S
THAT??? My Doctor always says "discomfort"
