Correction, I stupidly left out a word in
editing. I meant: "I hope you don't hesitate to
look for context in the next stop sign you encounter."
My profound apologies.

Nope, same word, it is just that the illiterates
who write for 'The Simpsons' had forgotten the spelling.
I hope you hesitate to look for context in the next stop sign you encounter.

Nope. Different word. One I'm fairly sure
you're not familiar with, nor have you heard it
in its original context. As a disclaimer, I'll
state that I can't claim to have heard it more
than once, since it originated on the tv cartoon
series, "The Simpsons." I only watched one episode of it. Ever.
However, it's a demonstration that context is
important, no. essential to understanding the
full meaning of words. Period. I'll leave with
a quote from Samuel Clemons (Mark Twain)
"Loyalty to petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul."
Here's an interesting riddle that could be a
koan: if I refuse to acknowledge that people or
things can have more than one name, does that
mean that Mark Twain's writings don't exist if I
choose to know him only as Samuel Clemens?
Meditation upon that may be harmful to your
sanity. Use liquid cooling on your CPUs.

Yes but it isn't 1350 and the meanings of words change to adapt
to the current spoken and written language. The dictionary is not set in
stone it's constantly being updated by having words removed and added. Not
enough are removed though.
