    I’m right still, you are wrong! Alpha is not problematic in any way. It’s in the Bible (the best selling book on Earth, at least at one time), it’s used in pop culture while not referring to the study in any way. So now annoying people use “alpha” just like “king” and “prince” and “the best” and “the greatest”.

    You’ll all get over it soon, as usual. I promise.

    p.s as per your question, yes I do know of it, as stated in my post that you responded to. I’m sorry that referring to it was an inadequate indicator that I knew of it, so I’m guessing your question is a joke? I mean, it’s obvious.

      “I am the alpha and the omega” only means “I am the beginning and the end” because alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Alpha does not mean “first” in Greek you smug dipshit.

        Wow, this is big news… you should write Webster, Oxford, et al immediately and let everyone know they’ve made a massive mistake! Thank you for saving us from this horrid linguistic error!

        You are 100% wrong, and not even worth an insult. You bring shame to your family and make me sad.
