AccuTron Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 At some level, I can see this as simply clearer use of language, tho' that wasn't the motive. But I think it's very far seeing. Someday, when the REAL aliens from planet Zargon invade Earth, the word "alien" will have been freed up, eliminating lots of confusion.

okymek Posted April 1, 2016 Posted April 1, 2016 So by the same logic, if I find the presence of said "unauthorized guests" offensive to my delicate sensibilities, they will simply be removed right? Problem solved.
