130. Thanks for the advice.

But I didn't originally use the offensive term.

I am not a student of NAZIism. Didn't think about the fact that subhuman was a translation of Untermensch. Of course in German you also have Ubermensch which would maybe translate as super-hero. I don't suppose anyone objects to the term "super-hero."
Or "superman" for that.

Of course, these are all just words. A word means what the user intends and what the reader or hearer understands. Words are a means of communication and have no magical "meaning" of their own really.

I would understand all animals to be "sub-human" on the evolution scale. That could be a use of the English word.

I don't mean to be offensive. I just think words should be understood according to the intent of the user and the understanding, limited or broad of the reader/hearer.

I speak several languages and am kind of fanatical about the inexact meanings of words (about the fact that words' meanings are quite inexact and depend on intention).

The British use a lot of words we use but to mean very different things from what we use them to mean. Just an example of my experience.
