I didn't necessarily call you a dunce. What I said was:

"You're a dunce if you think people can't use the word 'most' just because they haven't spoken to more than 50% of the population."

> Why don't you put on you deductive logic wings and figure out what I think genius?

You probably think: "I have no idea what other people think about politcal correctness."

But consider this: If I jabbed a group of people with a red hot poker, what would they think about it? Can you honestly say you have no idea at all?

> apparently you are in agreement with Richa that you can predict most people's human behavior.

I obviously can't flawlessly predict human behaviour. I have an opinion on what I think most people feel about political correctness. It is based on the people I meet, conversations I overhear, things I see on TV and read about in the News.

P.S As regards the 'semantics' thing, I have spent the last three years studying formal semantics in theoretical computer science. Formal semantics in this context is mathematically formalising the meaning of computer programs. I know what the word actually means, which is probably why I didn't understand you. For your information, I think the phrase "it's just semantics" is more popular in America than in Britain. I haven't met anyone who has used it in conversation. That is why I asked.
