Jaskin, I was to send this pm as a reply to yours but I couldn't. And you'd see the reason why.

If you chose not to recieve any pms, you should not sent pms. I would have happy if you had written it on the thread.
The below was my reply to your pm;

hi,
I'm not really sure if you saying that accuracy isn't important part of language or that common understanding of "natural end of death" is "death from old age" .
Now, imagine for a sake of argument that the sentence comes from a piece targeted to a bunch of pathologists.
Best regards

Ps. I'm sorry for not writing that as answer to your on the forum but as I said before it's a topic for a different forum. Fell free to start a new thread with that message if you like to continue.
Well, I'm not a doctor so I'm not sure how correct what I'm going to say is, but as far as I know, on the death certificates of the people who died at very old ages is written of cardiac or of respiratory disease as the cause of death. So, actually I was trying to say that I actually agreed on your post I quoted.
As for the matter you asked about on this pm.
"I'm not really sure if you saying that accuracy isn't important part of language..."
It may sound like that and even sometimes it is, maybe it would be different today if the emerge of languages was a recent event. But they date back to very archaic ages and at those early stages that languages were taking shape, they were shaped by the then people's conceptions.
Anyway, this discussion is far more than what I'd initially aimed when I answered that post so I'd better stop it now.
And as for your PS, no offence but I'd be happy if you keep that for newbies not for me, for I'm to decide whether I keep writing on that thread or open a new one. But thanks anyway for your considerate advice.
