The word has linguistic value. Saying “over there” is too relative and non-specific. There are many words that have been misused or overused. If you want to change it, then every time someone uses West to mean superior in some way, question it. But be prepared for the ensuing argument with facts.
Melissa A. (@drmelalexa.bsky.social) reply parent
For descriptive purposes. It’s a direction; objective. Yet also relative depending on position. But as cultures differentiated a second more subjective meaning was imbued to differentiate eastern vs western cultures. It is still linguistically valid. It is was assigned value rather being neutral.
