@fishidwardrobe@hannu_ikonen@STL_Inquiries Yes. And your audience needs to understand which is which. It’s often helpful to the speaker or writer to use a common term rather than a fad only understood by few.
@hannu_ikonen@STL_Inquiries Thanks. As a scholar of linguistics I am unaware of that useage of \rebellious\ as positive especially in this case across the varieties of American English. It would have the same negative or sarcastic intent, as would \radical\ causing confusion. I think \astute\ ir well-reasoned response is a more accurate connotation.
