I think it's pretty much pointless as well, it's basically just for convenience. If I were to say I was bisexual, I would also have to go on a completely different rant about how I could give two shits less about what sexual reproductive organ(s) you have, I'm going to like you for you.
If people understood bisexuality as the physical OR platonic attraction to multiple sexes, then I'd say it every time. But for simplicity's sake, and even though it probably isn't the best thing to do (because really, who wants to cause a lot of confusion?), it's just easier for me to explain a new term than one that people assume that they know the meaning of.
I'm working on that though. :y: It's more-so an anxiety issue than anything else.
Fair enough...
Also, pet peeve here... It's "COULDN'T give two shits", you said "could give two shits", which in fact means the opposite. The is one of the most common errors I see and one of the ones that really pisses me off, but I'm in a good mood and I like you, so you get this one for free. Next time though, you get beaten with reeds for your crimes against language.

Oh,well "Pedophile" is a slang version,and as for American spellings.They are not butchered words,just simply spelled that way due to the American Revolution.We broke free and made our own spelling system and own government.So the spellings here are correct.
You can say what you like, but as I said before, actually the American spelling is wrong (you missed the second paragraph as I added it in an edit, and you replied before I added the edit)
Technically, 'Pedophile' would be pronounced "Ped-o-File" with 'Ped' sounding like 'Bed' where as it should be pronounced "Pee-do-file". Also, as it's based of ancient languages (like most words) such as Latin and Greek, technically spelling it 'Pedophile' would actually be using the prefix 'Pedo-' meaning "to walk or take steps" such as 'pedometer', which means, 'Pedophile' actually means the 'brotherly love or sexual attraction of feet or walking', which is why American spelling changes are stupid.
