I pretend to support it just for solidarity with the south-- but honestly the whole "unsweet" tea always did annoy me. It should be "unsweetened"

@bajax IT SHOULD BE NORMAL . IT SHOULD BE NONSWEETENED IF ANYTHING . IT'S CALLED TEA .
@f0x as long as we don't assume unlabeled means sweet I'm fine with it. though I'd be fine with unlabeled being unsweetened.
also don't you take tea with sugar?

@bajax I do. But I don't call tea "unsweetened" as if i've removed sweetness or "nonsweetened" as if sweetened is the default state of the thing produced
@f0x eh. for me un- is just a lexical negation, not an ontological one imo. I'm ok with it just indicating something which is not, as opposed to something which was made to be not.
