I’m sorry you can’t stand it be so, but that’s literally how language works.

I’m especially sorry because I’m just as dedicated to descriptivism as you seem to be to prescriptivism- the incredibly petty baby inside me upon reading your initial comment wanted to invent a dish called Sheperds Pie (spelling intentional because I’m a jerk) with steak to fuck with prescriptivists. I’m certainly not proud of that, I just think it shows how automatic my reaction to the idea of language being hemmed in is.

I think you wooshed on my joke about the definition of "literally".

I'm all for that! The difference is you know you're doing it wrong and are choosing to do that, rather than just saying the wrong thing.

I did whoosh on it. I was really excited for you to be just as passionate as I am, just in a diametrically opposed way, and I might have used similar words. Womp womp
