New meaning of "sticky" (persisting) v old meaning ("difficult, problematic") keeps confusing me #LanguageChanges

Working on a #COVIDVaccine team at a retirement home with a great (25 yr old) RN. She said stuff like “you must be a foody” & “bust a move” to the residents & was shocked that those were unfamiliar phrases to them #LanguageChanges

Embrace the human ability to generate words! Dictionaries describe, don’t prescribe. #linguists also describe. “Irregardless” is understood, consistent, and similar to other negative morphological processes in English. #LanguageChanges, my friends! Personally, I am fascinated.

So when one stops peeving and actually looks at the science of language, Irregardless is part of a particular systematicity in linguistic cognition rather than being some grotesque outlier. And personally, I think that’s beautiful.

Have you noticed lately how many some people answer questions with a double "Yeah, Yeah"? I actually do that myself...it's just recently come to my attention...is this just a UK thing? #LanguageChanges #Trends #Habits

@julieyue @textio Fun fact: The first ever email I sent you scored 100 when I originally sent it. It now scores only 65. #languagechanges I tell the story (an abbreviated version) every time I demo!

A while back you mostly disagreed w/my discomfort with 'geek' & 'nerd'. On @theindicator podcast @titonka was also uncomfortable, but b/c she considers it a humblebrag! I want you all to know I'm working on updating my lexical entries to get with the times, k? #LanguageChanges

I have mixed feelings about the terms 'geek' & 'nerd'. They still seem to convey something pejorative (even if potentially lovable). But even if people are trying to "reclaim" these words, why do we need to act like a deep interest in science/tech/many intellectual pursuits 1/

My Italian isn’t great, I know, but I’m pretty sure ‘latte’ shouldn’t be pronounced with a glottal stop. 😠 #languagechanges #language #languages #italian #english #coffee #cafenero #travel #pronunciation

"Latinx" is replacing "Latino" in many spaces. Why? It's "a way of rejecting the gendering of words..." https://t.co/wJdHBu5ars via @LatinoVoices #Latinx #languagechanges #languageandgender @Allison_Crowder

@DRobertsonRN @dukesy12 @RoyalNavy "In" is traditionally correct, but people routinely say "on", and have done for years. Shakespeare wrote "divers" and we now write "diverse". #LanguageChanges
