So...Facts

Facts are decided by a group. Like how the Academie Francaise (sorry for the lack of accents, I know they're missing but I can't figure it out on my Mac) decides on what is actually part of the French language. A group of people together decide what words go into the dictionary and what are official French words.

Facts are facts because a group of people decide that something is true.

For instance, the fact that orange is orange came up a long time ago and someone assigned those sounds to the a bright color that's a mixture of red and yellow, and then later applied that group of sounds to a round fruit of the same color as its namesake.

A fact becomes a fact and not an opinion when it becomes the common belief instead of the belief of a few. Often times the opinion becomes a fact because someone is providing solid evidence of this fact, like the idea that fire is hot and ice is cold.

If I think of anything else I'll probably change this.
