they are more like guide lines

2018-11-24 16:13:45 UTC  

Maybe they're guidelines now, but back when I went to school they were rules

2018-11-24 16:14:12 UTC  

And of course time froze at that point and everything since is illegitimate

2018-11-24 16:14:14 UTC  

no, they are literally guidelines

2018-11-24 16:14:20 UTC  

Oh, and *get off my lawn!*

2018-11-24 16:14:22 UTC  

how many people talk like how they write

2018-11-24 16:14:28 UTC  

:p

2018-11-24 16:14:36 UTC  

language is made up, literally. and constantly evolving

2018-11-24 16:14:48 UTC  

Nuff said

2018-11-24 16:15:16 UTC  

No. The English language at it existed when I completed 8th grade is unchanging and immutable. :p

2018-11-24 16:15:46 UTC  

I wonder what terms have been created since then

2018-11-24 16:15:54 UTC  

Oh, lord

2018-11-24 16:15:59 UTC  

Like everything

2018-11-24 16:16:30 UTC  

turns out the water heater for the floor above me is over my front door and was leaking

2018-11-24 16:16:45 UTC  

850 new words in just one quarter

2018-11-24 16:16:55 UTC  

That's like 3500 a year

2018-11-24 16:18:24 UTC  

10 Tim points says 600 of those are genders

2018-11-24 16:20:36 UTC  

I hate that word.

2018-11-24 16:21:02 UTC  

We need those centrist donors.

2018-11-24 16:21:19 UTC  

Mansplain made its way into the dictionary at record speed, but when you type "gynocentrism", you will see that it gets a red squiggle, indicating that it's unrecognized.

2018-11-24 16:21:32 UTC  

Gynocentrism is a word that has existed since the 19th century.

2018-11-24 16:21:34 UTC  

How the hell did academia shift so far to the left

2018-11-24 16:21:39 UTC  

Which word makes it into the dictionary first?

2018-11-24 16:22:02 UTC  

It's ironic, though, because they reason why gynocentrism is not in the dictionary is an illustration of gynocentrism.

2018-11-24 16:22:09 UTC  

It's better not to upset the whammens.

2018-11-24 16:22:48 UTC  

Academia shifted to the left because we didn't care.

2018-11-24 16:23:05 UTC  

Most institutions shifted to the left, because the left tends to be more collective.

2018-11-24 16:23:16 UTC  

Collectives have an easier time taking over institutions.

2018-11-24 16:23:46 UTC  

You can see the same pattern among many corporations. Most of them were reasonably conservative and later shifted to the left, as they got nicer.

2018-11-24 16:24:28 UTC  

Another example are cities. Once they are nice and work well, it attracts other people who want to benefit from nice, clean spaces.

2018-11-24 16:24:39 UTC  

Or, take Europe for example.

2018-11-24 16:25:02 UTC  

You can also draw parallels with the Big Five personality traits.
