i wish that you had done this instead - brought up evidence about how
you understand community of practice is false.

sorry, being married is not _just_ about a woman or a man - in my case
it's about a man and a man, and i'd feel really anxious if i thought that
the one or the other of us were playing out a role of control in a
marriage. if this is what your marriage is about then, honestly, the
joke's on you.

The English noun "identity" comes, ultimately, from the
Latin adverb "identidem", which means "repeatedly."
The Latin has exactly the same rhythm as the English,
buh-BUM-buh-BUM - a simple iamb, repeated; and
"identidem" is, in fact, nothing more than a
reduplication of the word "idem", "the same":
"idem(et)idem". "Same(and) same". The same,
repeated. It is a word that does exactly what
it means.
from "The Elusive Embrace" by Daniel
Mendelsohn.
