#!markdown If you assign the same logic, one could point out that you're wasting energy trying to correct someone's use of the word meaningful when you could be directing that time and energy towards something charitable, or significant in the global/social/beneficent sense. Take it a step further and one could call you wasteful for spending any time on the internet at all. But it's recreation, right? As is riding bikes. All depends on how metaphysical you want to be about it. Looks like you're choosing very metaphysical, in which case the only bikes you should be concerned about are those concerned only with utility, not with recreation. Yes, words are important. But I also think (as does Morgan, who knows you better than I do) that you understand the distinction between meaningful in the social context versus that of choosing where to spend your money on a bike as expressed in the comments section of a website with a fairly pronounced focus on gear. In other words, learn how to pick your fucking battles, dude.
