If only people could accept that English being a living language isn't just about the past, but words are changing now, and that's OK.
This is for the people who gouge their own eyes out when they hear people say "unalived"; the people who (suspiciously) insist on the clinical definition of pedophile; and "it's called a magazine actually" gun-brains.
Also SAed instead of raped. Then there is PDF-file.
The reason is more due to the algorithm searching for words to censor, strike, or other reduce the likelihood of recommendation. Not natural language change.
I think your first two examples couldn't be worse.
Also this post is a fake. So there's that.
"Unalive" is stupid NOT because language changes and ree, but because it came about via over-censorship by megacorporations.
Exactly. It is a childish and stupid way of saying killed.
This about sums it up. There's a vast difference between a language naturally evolving to fit the times and whatever the fuck 'unalive' is.
it wasn't over censorship. It was them choosing to not show children stuff that probably talks about adult themes, like death. Because maybe you shouldn't be talking about blowing someone's head off to children, right? Sane decision.
Then influencers decided they wanted money and more money meant avoiding the algorithm from noticing you talk about adult themes, so they show more users ie children, and kids love watching weird shit especially if it's talking about adult themes. Then you get a bunch of weird fucking influencers talking about people "unaliving themselves" and targeting children viewers
I get what you're trying to say, but no we don't need to be teaching our kids to be afraid of topics like death or god forbid cursing.
ahh!
(that's tiktok for ass)
I always find it amusing when people are arguing their perscriptivisim is the actual descriptivism. Part of how the language changes is precisely based on objections to word usage and lack of understanding. Those very objections are what give words character. They became part of the descriptive usage of the word. People can agree that yes it is a word in the linguistic sense while also arguing that it's a dumb word or a dumb usage. Reinforcing normative usage only is perscriptivisism in a silly outfit.
No, no — see, skibidi is actually a valuable addition to the English language.
What does it mean, you ask?
...
That's right, it sure does. Have meaning, that is.
