The defintion of a "quack"

A quack is a short noise uttered from the beak of a duck. Actually, though, quacking is not what ducks do. Ducks actually make a noise that sounds more like "waht, waht, waht." Calling duck talk "quacking" is tantamount to calling dog talk "barking," or calling pig talk "oinking". These are "Americanizations" - words that are words because Americans arbitrarily say that they are, and then arbitrarily attach meanings to them. So one could feasibly say that is is politically correct to call duck talk "quacking". What is not politically correct, however, is for a human to call their talk "quacking". But that is precisely what I will be doing on this page. I will ramble my thoughts, and refer to it as "quacking". Since calling my rambling "quacking" is in and of itself politically incorrect, it should follow that my ramblings as well, will be politically incorrect. I invite you to respond in the same fashion.
