Oh dear, yet another Oscar speech that wasn't said exactly the correct way.http://www.buzzfeed.com/iramadison/graham-moores-oscar-speech-was-not-intended-for-lgbt-kids …
@jonlovett It's good you're not a writer who cares about what words mean and why they're used and matter.

@chrisgeidner Of course I do. That's why this bugs me. It's not about what words mean. It's the pressure on the words, in a way. -
@jonlovett There have always been pressure on words. Now, more people get to criticize words they don't think worked. I like that world. -
@chrisgeidner I like that world too! We've debated this before. What I mind is the creeping demand for conformity in what people can say. -
@jonlovett You say "creeping demand for conformity," I say "voices shut out previously finding their way into the conversation." -

@38_28_38@jonlovett What r u talking about? That was the claimed intent of his entire speech. If this isn't a moment when that counts ... -
@38_28_38@jonlovett ... then there's no purpose to really having any discussions of anything.
