    Who is removing the meaning? If anything i thought we were trying to define it better and maybe challenge the traditional meaning because i don’t think it suits the current times. You are free to use a different word.

      So your argument here… is that you’re not trying to remove the meaning from a word.

      You’re just trying to change the traditional meaning and ask people who use the word correctly to use a new and different word.

      You’ve given me a lot to think about, thank you.

        Or maybe that correctly might be too traditional? If that’s too much i can just stop. I don’t wanna overload ya.

          Actually rereading my content: What i meant was to say “well just a different word” in regards to the current situation if recession doesn’t fit into the metrics of what a recession is. If you don’t like recession being used than give people who feel like it’s a recession a different word.
