  • This. My dog knows words that I didn’t teach him. I know people talk about pattern recognition and what not but that’s not all that different than human knowledge. I learn words by hearing them repeated too

    I know how to read his body language and the tone of his barks to know what he wants. He will even show me, if I ask him.

    I suspect he understands a lot more than I am capable of deciphering as well.

    That’s because it’s an adjective. It’s like saying “I was talking to a black.” It’s icky and devalues people.

    Ever notice how the same people the say “female” don’t also say “male”?

    (Yes, I know female can be a noun, but in those cases, it’s typically in relation to live stock or in science.)
