The Wiktionary definition is incorrect. It should read something like "A constructed language; a language that has been PURPOSELY/CONSCIOUSLY constructed, such as Esperanto, Quenya, Klingon, etc." All languages are ARTIFICIALLY constructed in the sense that someone (SHAKESPEARE for English, DANTE for Italian, GOETHE for German, etc.) used the language in a way that everyone tried to imitate because they thought it was so good.
Hello, i'm new here. How do i fix things in Wordnik? Listing "homosexual" as an "equivalent" is just plain incorrect. Transgender is about gender (socially constructed). Homosexual is about sexual attraction (sex, not gender).
