We've not much choice; terms come with the job. that said I resist and deplore the use of terms too....and like Heck I deplore and resist the use of standard spelling punctuation grammar conventions usage sausage peppers black beans white rice onions and almost every other thing i'm too lazy to...cook up ...etc...& Co. and .....so 4th & sew in so sez 

The term modern has lotz of meanings. The Renaissance, for example. And Shakespeare's Language, contrary to what your avg. person thinks, is modern english. modernism and modernist and post-modernism and post-modernist are fairly useful tools in the right shed when kept sharp

if we insist that no terms or classifications be permitted or that Ivan's dictate must be followed and ergo "everything is permitted" we can not have any meaningful dialog or dialog or dialectic. 

but i resist and deplore anyone's attempt to sence-sore me or how i right wrong
