    Connotative meaning and denotative meaning of words are why the language used in laws is so specific. If you knew anything about the law or how it works, you’d know that.

    Any more questions you want answered I’d suggest either Google or your teacher.

      What has the difference between connotative and denotative meanings go to do with the word “offensive” in “offensive messages”. used in that context “offensive” requires someone to be offended, that is its main meaning… otherwise it has no meaning.

      Anyway i thought you were checking out like three messages ago, why are you still here trying (and failing) to guess my age?

        Since you’ve already asked and had this one answered, I’ll just copy/paste it for you, but I’d again suggest you look up the meaning of the terms:

        Because “offensive messages” defined in law is not the same as “being offended”.

        You asked a question, I answered. It’s only polite after all. With each comment you make, you’re only making your ignorance of law more clear to those who actually understand what you’re talking about. If you’re not a teenager, well, you have some learning to do I guess.

        E: it’s kind of sweet you’re going back just to downvote my comments. I like that you’re dedicating so much time to me <3
