I love how autism has become this fetishized thing that you slap onto all people operating outside of expected parameters.

[-] abbotsbury@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

I don't think that's what fetishized means.

literally what it means. People treat words like divine tangible streams of meaning when they're just sounds we make

Literally not

Completely unrelated, seems like you have a bug up your butt about something else. Also I'm pretty sure nobody thinks that either, sorry a prescriptivist upset you but that has no relation to what I said.

I am not upset, it's just a collection of graphemes on the screen. Sorry you feel different

Either you're using "literally" in a non-literal fashion, or you're using it to make your statement even more incorrect.

[-] CopLoverBillionairefan@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

it's both a literal utterance in the sense of pointing to the denotative meaning of another term (fetishism in this instance) and an inscription, therefore literal in the sense of being a work of literature.

I also could argue that I used that word colloquially as to add emphasis on the confidence I have in my statement, which is also a correct use of the word.

If you care be sure to leave another definiens of 'literal' that would render my post incorrect in your regard. Frankly I would love to learn more about your point of view on the matter

My tip: don't argue with people who know not even the terms they are attempting to criticize the use of. +also they seem to be using a sockpuppet account to upvote themselves and write comments

Maybe, making it as incorrect as possible serves to prove a point which makes statement phrased correctly for the goal in mind?
