Exertion and exhaustion are discrete while health is general. It looks to me like this is them calling him healthy like that mattered, and as if to make it seem more shocking.

I could be "perfectly healthy" and still die of exhaustion without a bunch of inflammation exacerbating the issue.

Man is the default for human. (not 'male', no sex or gender implied, here)

Used to be wereman and woman. We dropped the 'were'.

Memba werewolves, though? Yep. Same exact, but reversed, problem as mermaids.

Basically, people worried about taking 'man' out of things are just supremely uninformed and don't really understand the context regarding how it ended up there.

That we got versions of words with the 'wo' added in to specify women is just like people continuing a volley in volleyball after the ball went out of bounds, it's technically fine, but we kept doing it and now we have to deal with this bullshit.

Easy mistake to make, tbh. I've done similar when I was trying to get a shot like this. Thought I had my depth of field longer than it was and that it would include the face, etc.

I almost always check and take an extra few, now, if I'm not getting candids. Was worse when dslr screens were smaller, harder to check in camera.

Using those terms as if someone who wasn't enlisted and went through the same branch would know what they mean other than having a vague notion makes you sound like the guys who slip military jargon into their everyday speech without ever having been enlisted. It's not a good look on anyone, much more so on people who actually served, because it makes the ones who don't do that look bad.

The combination of jumping down someone's throat for being ignorant about your experience while expecting them to grasp super niche terminology relating to it is definitely making an argument opposite to the one you intended, at the very least.
