Retort

Arguing about words, that seems to be the function of Thesaurus and Definer. This is not a bad existence, especially if one agrees with us (I assume I can speak on behalf of Definer here, a dubious assumption) that the world we think we know is a construction of culture, language, and power. As such, words, their singular and dependent meanings, structure, in the very least, the intentions of our articulations. To make the point, I ask with varying degrees of inflection:

Who cares?

Who cares!

Who . . . cares?
