Yes but words hold memories to others. Since 'ought to' is less frequently used it doesn't 'trigger' people the same way.

Most people are emotion-first, how the words make them feel is more important than the definitions of them. Being emotion-first doesn't make them stupid.

Being so emotional they react wildly to one of the most common words in the English language does in fact make them stupid.
