In order to counterballance the microsoftification of the
language, start linguistic remediation -- instead of by
assigning new meaning to old words through usage, as
with "options" and "preferences" -- by assigning new words
to old meanings with top-down remediation starting with
Negro, Negroid,
Niger, Nigeria, all of which relate to the
PIE base *ne- "no, not" , to be changed to Posro, Posroid,
Posra and Poseteria, from PIE *po "put, place,".

"Ater" is Etruscan, "niger" IE, and means glossy rather than dirty black. Ater is more like smutty black or inky. Niger is the colour of obsidian or an LP. |
