But none of us using the word actually cause any fuss, until we're pressured by those who get angry over our usage. How many months have we Liseusers been merrily using the word in casual terms with each other? I've used it with English friends when I'm stuck for an adequate description for my Liseuse. If anything the anger and the trouble always comes from those who are against using the word. We, the Liseusers, are on the defensive in this word battle.
