insane
ɪnˈseɪn
adjective
in a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behaviour, or social interaction; seriously mentally ill.
So simple and concise. How serious is seriously? What’s normal? Insane is not a word I want to ‘reclaim’ or have applied to me – it’s far too vague. Unlike many people, I am a firm fan of labels (language = labels), but they need to be accurate labels.
