“ingredients you can pronounce!!!” actually i’m great at phonics and i love eating chemicals
Why it’s time to stop worrying about the decline of the English language
This is a long read, but definitely worth it. This is an elaborate and more accurate version of what I tell people, who claim that language (any language) is deteriorating: why don’t you go speak Proto-Indo-European?
people who dont even care about language: how can you just CHANGE grammar??? add new wORds?? unacceptable!!! language must never change!!!!!11 kids these days cant even spell!!
people who study language: ANARCHY!! ANARCHY!!!! LANGUAGE IS FLUID AND WORDS AREN’T REAL!! change! the! grammar! rules!! burn a dictionary!!! NO ONE CARES!!!!!
