I think you're grossly mistaken, hence my downvote. If you wanted to describe "lean", then "leans heavily [direction]" would be both accurate and well understood by a broad audience. Sometimes a single term does matter. | |

| Nov 19, 2018 at 20:25 | comment | added | John | I get that Martin is suggesting that far-left is a misuse of the term, based on the technical definition that he subscribes to. I think if he downvoted my answer for this reason alone, then that's going way too far and not justified (should an entire answer really be downvoted because of a small semantic disagreement about a very tiny part of the answer?). I think the average reader would take "far-left" to mean the extent of their lean, and I don't think this is realistically misleading. | |
