Who says you can't hear tone in text?
I'm more of a Wictionary guy, myself.
In what was almost certainly a precedented move, Brian was wrong.
And so is my spell-checker.
Is he arguing with fhe dictionary?!!wtf
My opinion is that once someone invents a word, it exists forever, even if it's later marked as obsolete/archaic.
Conversely, just because the dictionary doesn't have a word, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Many words are forgotten, so I disagree with that they exist forever.
Yeah, I can say all manner of things like bork and twiddledee, but I don't think I can get marblegargler to stick.
Unless a meme picks it up or is in at least the urban dictionary, it doesn't count.
Fiddlesticks. "marblegargler" is perfectly cromulent. ;)
I agree but he is saying the opposite lol
I know lol
Just reminded me of those that consider the dictionary a holy book, and new words against the Rules of Nature™
GRRK (pronounced with rolled Rs)
Brian represents that group of people that just say, “No it’s not!”, with authority. I forgot what they call themselves.
Brian?
The call themselves right. But not in the sense that they're aligned with that political ideology. They just think they're the only correct ones and everyone... else... is... (...wait a second...).
Not coincidental, they both stem from the directional description "right".
In Old English riht meant both straight and not left. That's why "go right ahead" and "go straight ahead" are synonymous even tho that sense has been largely lost.
"Right" then got the sense of proper/correct, likely because right-handedness is more common and thus the right hand was associated with being the "correct" hand. This is why you are "dextrous", from Latin dexter meaning directionally right.
The political "right" as in conservative also comes from the direction right because in the French National Assembly after the 1789 revolution, the conservatives sat on the right while the progressives were seated on the left.
Contrarians?
Contrabrians
OMG no. That’s not it! Jesus
🤣
Confidently incorrect, to me at least.
Idiots?
