I also dislike being sold, told or shown something that is obviously untrue and doesn't fit my observed reality, such as when "The Department of Windows" repeatedly calls to inform me in a barely understandable English that my computer has been compromised.<br /><br />While I'm open to understand and accept the fact that perceptions differ and gray areas exist, I find the kind of deception pictured here and at the link angering. <br /><br />Perhaps the word I'm looking for is perversion, based on the verb pervert, with intentional perversion being what I have little patience for these days.<br /><br /><i>Definition of pervert<br />transitive verb<br />1 a : to cause to turn aside or away from what is good or true or morally right : corrupt<br />b : to cause to turn aside or away from what is generally done or accepted : misdirect<br />2 a : to divert to a wrong end or purpose : misuse<br />b : to twist the meaning or sense of : misinterpret</i>MamaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300520132972757396noreply@blogger.com
