If the reader is ''not'' smart, he may have problems with accepting the validity of that statement. As a ''courtesy'' I may include a reference to something that explains the nature of what occurs when combining cups of different kinds of fluids, or combining cups of finely grained substances with more coarsely grained substances, but I don't ''have'' to give such a "reference" or "citation". My statement is ''just as true'', with or without giving any references. [[User:User4\|User4]] ([[User talk:User4\|talk]]) 23:12, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

			::: OK--Here's the explanation from Enochian
			::::https://www.boychat.org/messages/1338273.htm
			::::'''The Magic Transposition of Two Words'''
			::::Posted by Enochian ''on 2013-March-12 12:43:58, Tuesday''

			::::Notice how the postal service has invented the term "Sexually Explicit Conduct," designed to sound like "Explicit Sexual Conduct," but which can refer to simple nudity.

			::::Nudity, photographed so the genitals are clearly visible, is "explicit." The kind of explicitness is "sexual." So nudity is Sexually Explicit Conduct, as opposed to Explicit Sexual Conduct, which is sexual acts shown explicitly.

			::::This subtle transposition is lost on the typical reporter, who sees "Sexually Explicit Conduct," and writes a story about "sex acts" and ruined children.

			::::Another of society's many problem that could be avoided if people were just a little bit more intelligent.

			::: To sum up the above:
			::: "Sexually Explicit Conduct" can refer to ''simple nudity'' (without showing any actual ''sexual activity'', like intercourse, fellatio, etc.)
			::: "Explicit Sexual Conduct" is sexual acts shown explicitly (intercourse, fellatio, etc., ''clearly displayed'').

			:
			:No, they are not the same. But I'd have to think very carefully before I can explain the difference. "Explicit" means "stated clearly or precisely," and when talking about sex, it means "describing or representing sexual activity in a direct and detailed way."

			:Something that is "explicitly [that's an ''adverb''] sexual" means something that is "clearly sexual". Something that is "sexually explicit" means something different.
