You propose that English, German, Chinese (presumably Cantonese, Mandarin et al) and any other language that can be named is incapable of nuanced expression, is incapable of expressing meaning, without newer language-technology? And you also suggest that the word bipolar is extreme?

It's difficult to even imagine how anyone expressed logic to compute before Unicode! /s ;p ヅ

That's a pretty vigorous, absolutist summary of something I never said.

There is some serious emotion here, have you been thinking about this for a week straight or what? :-)

And re bipolar, I don't think it's a stretch to say it's inappropriate or even rude to use the word bipolar in a critical context, I mean you know we have bipolar users here right? From previous memory...

(I'd guess you're not against change that's entertaining, novel, or what? This is a technology site last I checked...that's how this mindset works...)
