1: Blah blah blah linguistic shifts

2: How would you know if he's not using correctly? You think a 4chan shit poster is above having a head in a fridge?

Blah blah blah you smell.
Good point - this is most likely the case.

France has an authority for their language and its three main domestic dialects.

It'd be nice if a similar but global body gate-kept the drift in English. The current system where high-school cliques decides what's Fetch and Mirriam-Webster's monkeys just write it all down with no cohesion is not a basis for progress.

Language people: English has surprising inconsistencies.

Also language people: 'literally' now also means its exact opposite because Ashley said so.

Lmao, imagine using France as an example for what to do.

Is there some frequency (weekly? monthly?) with which drift has impaired your communications, impacted your work?

It’s OK if it’s just a general frustration, I’m only curious.
