it is irrational for the minor program and college south carolina to claim the same acronym as the major program and college southern california

this is very confusing for anybody living outside the the state of south carolina, to whom "USC" immediately evokes the hollywood hills and the rose bowl

ok, that actually sounds like how "gay" or "human being" is used in the US (ex: "Look at that human being who likes that gay videogame...wait don't call me homophobic, I don't have a problem with gay people!!"), though thankfully people have been pushing back against it and using those words in that sense definitely marks you as a lovely and immature person, at least in many places. And in fact that use of "jew" is also going on in the US, it's just that I think if you scratch off the paint it's just common everyday antisemitism (or homophobia) underneath. Though of course I'm talking about my US perspective of how it's used in the US.

I'm not sure we should bend the rules of time and logic just to accommodate ignoramus.

Science too is real, whether or not a person understands it.

the definition of "original" doesn't come into it.

default nomenclature comes about via a process of general societal consensus

if an important thing claims the same acronym as an unimportant thing, the acronym becomes associated with the important thing regardless of whether the unimportant thing has been around longer

I'm planning on pulling my 401k for a trip to SE Asia and just backpack until I die by a road on a motorbike or in a bar somewhere.

I expect my trip won't get as far as Bangkok.
