English tip

*gasp* Joshua is finally giving one.

I've been reading a lot of testimonies lately of people who've shed their "repressed" past lately, and a common term keeps popping up: conservative.

Now, it comes as no surprise that I'm not a fan of the conservative; however, I'm thinking they're mistaking it perhaps with a synonym, like say... a prude.

E.g.:

I used to be a lot more prudish about one night stands, but then I gave it a swirl.

I hold to the conservative opinion that marriage is between members of differing sexes.

Capisci?

They're two different words mind you, not presicely interchangeable. One deals with the old order of things; one deals with being inappropriately appropriate (hyper-appropriate) and naively innocent.
