you'll never catch me shitting on rojak #Descriptivism
(OPINION) Most of the opinions I do express I intend to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. That is, I don’t mind to say, “This is what I believe about such-and-such.” ... Or, “This is what the Bible says … to me.”

@teachergoals Whilst I won't write it, and don't like it: language changes, and you can't stop it.

@maguirrem3 @nytimes No, we don't switch accents in the middle of sentences to register the foreign origin of words. Omicron originates in Greek, but is now part of English and many other languages. We'll pronounce it the way we pronounce it and that will be the pronunciation. #descriptivism
"For much of history, the vast majority of language was spoken.” So this short video by @AndreeaCalude for @TEDTalks asks whether grammar actually matters. Watch it here: https://t.co/KrHVxJobWP #prescriptivism #descriptivism

I don't end sentences with prepositions b/c I've been properly programmed/brainwashed. But I think it's a really bad/stupid rule, one that I would try to break if it wouldn't mean war with my editors. Can anyone give a GOOD reason why we have this rule? #Descriptivism
In today's Times2. Good for #Discourse on #Spelling #Prescriptivism and #Descriptivism from @OliverKamm
Looked up the difference (if any) between “utmost” and “uttermost”. Found this gem:
“The difference between uttermost and utmost is that uttermost is the utmost; while utmost is the maximum.”

And, just to be clear, "like" (and "so") are perfectly fine and in no way "threatening" the English/German language! I'm just genuinely curious how we use these words #descriptivism (3/3)
@plantlesbian Etymologically it's had two definitions (including this one) since the 1950s/60s.

But to cishet folks, honestly if you're talking to/about LGBTQ+ folks, learn from them how to use their words.
Goes for ANY CULTURE.

The point of dictionaries is to describe how language is used, not to police it | Lynne Murphy https://t.co/nu0x2F0Suj
The nonbinary pronoun 'they' has been added to the dictionary.

A very thought-provoking thread: why is it that using the term “Socialism” always seems to freak folks out? Is losing political power worth the effort of reclaiming a word?
#Descriptivism #PoliticalSpeech #TalkingPoints
My advice, which nobody asked for and nobody will take, is to learn to think politically without using the word "socialism".
Because every discussion about it generates more heat than light.
Because it means entirely different things to different people.

The word 'whom' is dying. If that makes you angry, read this.
