I acknowledge that it was a minor point (hence "semantics"), but actually much of the meat of the discussion has been about semantics, and the example of "offended" & "annoyed" provides not only an exact parallel there, but in the broader sense that language is a thing much more diverse in everyday usage than its users often realize. I'd already commented on this coincidence (ie, it's "always 'becoming'" something), so I'm underlining it now because I think it's relevant to the thinking in discussions like this.

But anyway... also distilling & responding more broadly soon.
