Re: Feathers in your cap
The value in traditional symbolism is that it is a set of visual indicators originally set up for a broadly illiterate people, so it is in itself a very real language. To mess with that sends all sorts of inaccurate signals and destroys a living language for the sake of a few individuals' fashion sense. That to me is a very, very poor trade that impoverishes the entire planet.
