Bro, the reason the school calls them “volunteer hours” is because the places that need help are asking for volunteers. Even though it’s mandatory for students, these are hours at a volunteering opportunity. Interacting with the community is part of growing up, and part of their education. It’s not slavery.
It quite literally is. All encoding of information is definitionally contextual, language (formal or not) is no exception. This doesn’t change because the language is spoken.
Talk about absolutism. You didn’t address this, and you didn’t read my comment. I’m done.

They do change contextually, though? That’s sorta the whole basis of language.

Nah fam, this is near enough a perfect universal truth.
