@JosephVale30553 @sesamestreet The real question is where does Sesame Street celebrate it. All the comments saying oh Irish-American month is March... well their March posts celebrate everything else but that.
This is the problem.

This is concerning.

The claim is that between 2023 and 2024, more than 11,000 nouns plummeted in usage—some by over 80%.

Not slang. Not trends.
Words like resolve, threshold, repetition.

Terms like those highlighted in the video are tied to boundaries, identity, and recall.
And they’ve gone quiet.

Not from censorship.
Not from cultural drift.

But from AI optimization: the AI models quietly tuning out the heavy words: the ones that carry too much weight for engagement.

They’re calling it linguistic erosion.

And that’s what makes this so haunting, because language isn’t just how we speak.

It’s how we think.

The beauty of English is its depth; its endless ways to “say the same thing” with nuance.

It’s why lyrics work. Why poems land.
It’s why translation is hard—because it’s never just the word.
It’s the intention behind it.

But my concern doesn’t stop there.

Because it’s not just emotional or reflective vocabulary at risk.

It’s the nouns we rely on in trades, safety-critical industries, and technical professions. The kind of language that makes the difference between compliance and safety.

Compliance satisfies paperwork and keeps you out of trouble.
Safety is an action—a follow-through—that keeps you out of the ER.

So what happens when linguistic erosion sets in?

Sometimes, it means we lose our ability to express grief, healing, or change.

But sometimes, it means we can no longer do our jobs—
properly, effectively, or safely.

Here’s what that erosion could look like in real life:

⸻

1. Systems & Policy Analysis

Professional Standard:
“The bottleneck wasn’t resources—it was misalignment between mandate and implementation.”

Weakened version:
“The problem wasn’t money—it was that things weren’t working the way they were supposed to.”

What’s lost:
Bottleneck, misalignment, mandate, implementation—these are structural words.
The vague version leans on generalities (“problem”, “things”), making it harder to critique or intervene.

⸻

2. Medical or Health Writing

Professional Standard:
“Chronic underdiagnosis skews the data and delays intervention.”

Weakened version:
“Not noticing things early can mess up the numbers and slow down help.”

What’s lost:
Underdiagnosis is a technical term with systemic implications.
Skews the data invites analysis; “mess up the numbers” says nothing precise.
Lose the vocabulary, and you blunt both clarity and accountability.

⸻

3. Education Policy or Equity Work

Professional Standard:
“Without a consistent framework for differentiation, equity becomes aspirational rather than actionable.”

Weakened version:
“If teachers don’t have a plan to meet different needs, fairness is just a nice idea.”

What’s lost:
Framework, differentiation, equity—terms that carry professional and pedagogical weight.
The replacement sounds more conversational, but loses traction in policy discourse.
And that makes improvement harder to demand—or measure.

⸻

4. Trades Context – Electrical

Professional Standard:
“The issue was a ground fault at the junction box, likely caused by insulation breakdown under load.”

Weakened version:
“Something was wrong with the wires—it probably happened when there was a lot of power going through.”

What’s lost:
Ground fault identifies the exact failure.
Junction box localizes the issue.
Insulation breakdown under load signals cause and condition.
The weakened version is vague, unmeasurable, and unsafe.

⸻

5. Millwright – Alignment & Safety

Professional Standard:
“We can’t proceed until we verify the radial clearance on the bearing seat.”

Weakened version:
“We should check if there’s enough room before putting it together.”

What’s lost:
Clearance isn’t just “room”—it’s a measurable, required spec.
The casual version invites guesswork in systems where precision protects equipment and people.
When tolerances are tight and components rotate at speed, “close enough” is a risk—not a solution.

⸻

This isn’t about fancy words.
It’s about the right ones

REPORT: @SocialSecurity Admin’s Acting Commissioner Resigns After Refusing To Cooperate With @POTUS Trump's @DOGE Team Auditing The Agency.
Michelle King, A Career Federal Bureaucrat With The SSA Since 1994, Quit Rather Cooperate With DOGE As The President Ordered!
King Was Replaced By Leland Dudek, Who Has Been Openly Supportive Of DOGE’s Efforts To Root Out Waste, Fraud & Abuse Of Federal Tax Dollars.
Dudek Will Serve As Acting SSA Commissioner Until, Frank Bisignano, Is Confirmed By The Senate.  
Shortly After The Resignation DOGE Uncovered OVER 20MILLION People In The Database As OVER 105 Years Old, Over 10MILLION People Listed As Over 120 Years Old, & OVER 1000 PEOPLE LISTED AS OVER 220 YEARS OLD!
PURE FRAUD!

Let's do the math here.

Roughly 20,000,000 dead people still receiving SS checks each month.

The average SS payment is roughly $1,800

That's $36 BILLION a month

That's $432 Billion a year

That's almost 25% of the $2 Trillion yearly deficit.

Am I missing something?!?!

If this doesn't infuriate you... you don't have a pulse.

@East10Outpost Absolutely! Met new neighbors. Came by and offered to help with his tractor since don't have one yet. And invited us to backyard get together with karaoke. I love it all. 😊

This 'why do you care about a tiny fraction of the population?' line is, and always was, utterly ridiculous.

Gender ideology has undermined freedom of speech, scientific truth, gay rights, and women's and girls' safety, privacy and dignity. It's also caused irreparable physical damage to vulnerable kids.

Nobody voted for it, the vast majority of people disagree with it, yet it has been imposed, top down, by politicians, healthcare bodies, academia, sections of the media, celebrities and even the police. Its activists have threatened and enacted violence on those who've dared oppose it. People have been defamed and discriminated against for questioning it. Jobs have been lost and lives have been ruined, all for the crime of knowing that sex is real and matters.

When the smoke clears, it will be only too evident that this was never about a so-called vulnerable minority, notwithstanding the fact that some very vulnerable people have been harmed. The power dynamics underpinning our society have been reinforced, not dismantled. The loudest voices throughout this entire fiasco have been people insulated from consequences by their wealth and/or status. They aren't likely to find themselves locked in a prison cell with a 6'4" rapist who's decided his name's now Dolores. They don't need state-funded rape crisis centres, nor do they ever frequent high street changing rooms. They simper from talk show sofas about those nasty far-right bigots who don't want penises swinging around the girls' showers, secure in the knowledge that their private pool remains the safe place it always was.

Those who've benefited most from gender identity ideology are men, both trans-identified and not. Some have been rewarded for having a cross-dressing kink by access to all spaces previously reserved for women. Others have parlayed their delicious new victim status into an excuse to threaten, assault and harass women. Non-trans-identified leftybros have found a magnificent platform from which to display their own impeccably progressive credentials, by jeering and sneering at the needs of women and girls, all while patting themselves on the back for giving away rights that aren't theirs.

The actual victims in this mess have been women and children, especially the most vulnerable, gay people who've resisted the movement and paid a horrible price, and regular people working in environments where one misplaced pronoun could see you vilified or constructively dismissed. Do not tell me this is about a tiny minority. This movement has impacted society in disastrous ways, and if you had any sense, you'd be quietly deleting every trace of activist mantras, ad hominem attacks, false equivalence and circular arguments from your X feeds, because the day is fast approaching when you'll want to pretend you always saw through the craziness and never believed it for a second.
