You're the one wasting time with ridiculous semantic arguments, but this time I don't even know what semantic argument you're trying to make. Women absolutely do regularly and customarily (two words which are synonymous) get pregnant and raise children. I never said anything about women making bad investments, and I have no idea where you're getting that idea.

I am speaking very clearly. Pregnancies are common and normal, plain and simple. Use whatever word you like. Regular, normal, usual, routine, etc.

We'll let the readers be the judge. If you think "regular", "normal", "usual" and "routine" mean the same thing, I'd just have to add "synonymous" to get a list of words you don't quite understand ;)

> I have no idea where you're getting that idea

from here:

> if I had to choose one group where problems would be more likely, I would choose the group that routinely becomes pregnant and raises children

> We'll let the readers be the judge. If you think "regular", "normal", "usual" and "routine" mean the same thing, I'd just have to add "synonymous" to get a list of words you don't quite understand

I'm in good company:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/routine[adjective]

That was exactly my point, "synonym" != "the same thing", it's a bit more nuanced than that and requires the context in which the words are used.

Only a 3rd grader thinks its ok to trot out their thesaurus and willy nilly replace words.

(also, from reading this thread, I don't seem to be the only one who thinks your english leaves something to be desired)
