Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

“No one knows what the heck dae means you lazy bum. We invented words for a reason, try using them. If you’re illiterate then maybe try a YouTube video essay. “

If someone said that, sure… but no one did. Perhaps the Original Poster needs to take communication more seriously and less personally.

I think you're making a significant deal out of something that is quite minor, personally. It's okay, though. It's minor, so we can agree to disagree. Cheers!

The basics of human communication is nothing important at all. 🤡

It's an abbreviation on the internet. Do you act this way any time you see TIL, wtf, eli5 or other. Or are you just sour you don't know this one

You’re entitled to your opinion. Is there anything else you’d like to say?

Chill out, man. This isn't parliament. Everything doesn't have to be communicated as if we're drafting laws.

Communication styles vary greatly, and tone is dependent on setting. What OP posted was completely fine. No need to throw around clown emoji 😝

This isn't the gotcha you think it is. There's a slight difference in using a well established acronym vs. a personally made-up one 😅

You're essentially getting upset that someone used a word that you aren't familiar with. With that, you're comparing someone using this unfamiliar word to the use of a non-existant word.

When you encounter a word you dont know, you look it up in a dictionary. You don't call out the author on their communication skills (rudely, mind you).

I'm really trying to be cordial here, and I really don't mean to cause upset, but you must see where I'm coming from, no?

Acrynoms aren’t words. Your argument is moot.

[-] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Way to completely miss my point. For someone who touts communication, your skills are severely lacking. Have a nice day.

May you have a nice day as well. You should try not to take things so personally. If you'd like to learn how and when you use Abbreviations and Acronyms you can do so here: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/journalism_and_journalistic_writing/ap_style.html

Christ, how insufferable. I dont know what I expected. Welcome to the block list I guess.

Your inability to deal with loss is what will inevitably hold you back. You chose to argue, and you lost. You won’t get a stomach ache from swallowing your pride, but you will isolate yourself to a sad echo chamber if you choose to block and sedate everyone and everything that hurts your feelings.
