It's not a belief. And science does explain. But you're correct, it's not really related to your injury, and you've been provided the correct information, so no point continuing that.

How did you learn to cook through Kung Fu? Also, is that the martial art you do? Kung Fu?

Practice.
I've lost track.
Last night I steamed beef dumplings, tonight it's roast chicken and cauliflower.
Yet you claim not to use unisex words, which would be nearly impossible.

Sorry, but I don't recall not using unisex words. I just was saying that I know what that means.
Double negative. So this sentence means that you DO use unisex words, which directly contradicts your earlier statement in post #14 of this thread. Whoooops.
As for "dude", it's hardly a term your generation can claim. We used it when I was a kid (and I still use it). And I have grandkids older than you. It's been in use (with the usual definition-drift) since at least the late 19th Century. It originally meant a male who dressed up extra fancy. Today, it just means 'person'. The sentences "Hey dude, what's up?", "Hey Terry, what's up?", and "Hey man, what's up?" are functionally identical, and none tells anything about the age or gender of the person speaking, nor the person addressed.

Yes it could be childish, and as an insult, or friendship or gender neutral greeting, or even a question.

If I do not accept the color red, and thereby ignore it, I still have to live with everyone else using red.

I kid! I kid!The discussion on dude is a bit of a digression... but it's as good as any other catch all term in English for a group of others, without regard to gender. Maybe "you-uns" or "you'se guys" would be preferred?
He can and he is. And that is okay.
I doubt you will understand this but, it is refreshing to see how passionate you are at that age. And the ignorance we all had at 16. I do not mean that condescendingly, but this is one of those moments you may look back on in 20 or 30 years and laugh at yourself.

The F bomb is so utilitarian, it's used in about a thousand different contexts globally.Well, Rich, you do sometimes have a talent for making other see red...

And recent studies have suggested that people who use it for literally everything might be smarter than those who don't, contrary to everything I was ever taught about the F word.
That said, the F word was exactly what cameout of my mouth when I got thrown from that horse and broke two bones clean through. Over and over.

No, not really. I simply said that I know what a unisex word is, not that I commonly use them. I really don't wanna argue about what was previously said, because it's pointless and quite frankly it's tiring.

Gonna go a bit meta here and combine the Chimp discussion and this one.
There's a time and place for martial training. It starts after bone setting, sutures, facial reconstruction, physical rehabilitation, and if you're really lucky, bionic augmentation.
