It’s ‘Deviant’ not ‘Deviate’

February 19 2019

deviate verb /ˈdiːvɪeɪt/ 1. depart from an established course. deviant /ˈdiːvɪənt/ adjective 1. departing from usual or accepted standards, especially in social or sexual behaviour. Please RHP change the sexual personality option so people aren’t taking a detour around sex. Also please people, check your spelling. - Posted from rhpmobile

    INXS were wrong the whole time? "Hallucinate, desegregate, mediate, alleviate, try not to hate, love your mate, don't suffocate on your own hate, designate your love as fate, a one world state as human freight, the number 8, a white/black state, a gentle trait, a broken crate, heavy weight, or just too late, like pretty Kate has sex ornate, now devastate, appreciate, depreciate, fabricate, emulate, the truth dilate, the special date, the animal we ate, guilt debate, the edge serrate, a better rate, the youth irate, deliberate, fascinate, deviant?" Just doesn't fit. But then again, Michael Hutchence's lyrics were often rubbish, likely penned when he was whacked off his chops with a supermodel in some dive in Paris or some dumb shit. Still, that song quoted above is a marvel of atmospheric synth, hypnotic lyrics (once again, probably written while he was nodding off with a needle dangling from his arm) and sax. Man, sax - whatever happened to sax?

    That's not what Merriam-Webster says. Did you only partly quote the dictionary to support your argument?
