  • Car is one of those repurposed words. It used to mean any wheeled vehicle until around 170 years or so ago. Automobile was used at first for cars. When I was young automobile or auto was the preferred term. Car or auto can be used for motorcycles or trains, there are just better words for those.

    Human sexuality is a spectrum and not an either/or situation, and should be treated as such. That being said, a chromosome test would answer the question in over 95% of cases, I believe. I could be wrong about this, so anyone with a better understanding, please correct me.

    I believe this is what happened to Dr Who. When it started it was for science and history nerds, science sounding gobble-de-gook, cos play outfits, very low production values (the infamous duct tape boots). All just good fun.
    When it was rebooted the focus had shifted. The Doctor as the cool guy, a Jesus figure, became more and more pronounced. They started to make fun of nerds on a regular bases. Amazing writing and production values, but at some point during the Tennant era I stopped watching in disgust.
