dspen2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 it's an adjective describing man??? if so, then what does it mean as an adjective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 human is an adjective meaning something that is man-like. i.e. that was a very [i]human[/i] action it is a [i]human[/i] way of thinking we are [i]human[/i] beings //our beings are man-like// man is the proper noun, we are all MEN this is the english language. if you don't like it, you can go speak french.

prose Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 So... what is a non-human man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 no one uses the adjective human to describe man, that's department of redundancy departnment... no one would say "I am a human man" they should say "I am a man" but in the weakened-by-PC language they say "I am a human" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
