Because when people think stars, they think a)pointy decahedrons, b)fuckhuge balls of fire, and/or c) celebrities.

Who are 'people'?
Because I certainly don't. And I'm pretty sure the majority of people in this thread don't.

[Darvi]

Your average layman isn't in this thread though, and if you're going to argue with them you're just going to look crazy with your insistence on terminology. Not that they're wrong though, because you're probably busy burning them with fire, solar flares, and hellflames for comparison's sake.

And no, I don't know if the latter is made by oxidation either.

1Divs never fail to dissappoint.
Death threats again? Come on they can't think they actually have a chance with a member of a boyband who is also a millionaire.

[My Name is Immaterial]

I dont think logical thought has anything to do with it.

How many people have the Directioners collectively threatened to kill at this point? Gotta be around a dozen.

I think I may have found the absolute dumbest thing in the universe.

Not sure if trolling, or the dumbest person ever.

I'm going to say troll. Mostly because i refuse to believe that somebody not only writes all of that, but they can't even spell women.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The spelling is intentional. It's a reaction to the perception that "woman" is prejudiced because it is "wo-man", with men just being "man". Hence, they use the "liberated" spelling of womyn.

The "anti-PIV" crusaders are a real thing on Tumblr as well.

[Sirus]

Except whoever wrote...whatever that was also spelled it as "womon". I dunno, I'm kinda getting trollish vibes from that as well.

[MagmaMcFry]

Looks like "womon" is the singular form, "womyn" is the plural.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Also, on the subject of man and woman being sexist:

Usage Note: Traditionally, many writers have used man and words derived from it to designate any or all of the human race regardless of sex. In fact, this is the oldest use of the word. In Old English the principal sense of man was "a human," and the words wer and wyf (or wæpman and wifman) were used to refer to "a male human" and "a female human" respectively. But in Middle English man displaced wer as the term for "a male human," while wyfman (which evolved into present-day woman) was retained for "a female human." Despite this change, man continued to carry its original sense of "a human" as well, resulting in an asymmetrical arrangement that many criticize as sexist. · Nonetheless, a majority of the Usage Panel still accepts the generic use of man, although the women members have significantly less enthusiasm for this usage than the men do.

Looks like "womon" is the singular form, "womyn" is the plural.

I prefer to use "huÿmmùn" for the singular and "huümmîn" for the plural. The hu's are pronounced as in Spanish.

On the other hand, they would lambast that both because I'm "appropriating the Hispanic culture" and because Spanish has grammatical gender and is thus cishetpatriarchal in every way, even the way they represent /w/.

Apparently, you are speaking Vietnamese. (Hit the listen button, do it.)

[Sensei]

Geez... nothing weirder than Google trying say "umlaut" and "circumflex" in a vietnamese accent.

I don't trust Google Translate.
It's ability to recognize proper grammar is horrendous.
At least with Scandinavian languages.
