So I fully understand the grammatical rules for such, but I still see no real practical reason to distinguish between aforementioned nouns.
Also amusing was looking up the words, people, person, and human. The dictionary uses circular logic to define them.
I swear I'm not trying to make trouble. I've never been able to fully understand our grammar.
How is our grammar compared to other languages in elegance? Like how English is one of the hardest languages to learn. Is our grammar the same? I know spelling and pronunciation is part of the problem, is grammar the other half?
Ohhhh, also, one more silly scenario. Say the aliens come to live with us, we're friends. So they're no longer aliens. They're considered people, but not humans. Is human now capitalized?
And if human still isn't capitalized is there ever a scenario where it would be? I'm trying to use these scenarios to figure out if there's a reason for not capitalizing human or if it's just because some old white dudes in the 1600s said so.
