Previously, Merriam-Webster changed the definition of 'sexual preference' overnight in order to label its use as 'offensive', because it was used by someone the establishment did not like (Barrett).
Mark my words, at the rate they're actively destroying the language, English won't be the Lingua Franca any more in another 50 years. It'll probably be Chinese or Spanish.
Say what you will about South America, they tell it like it is. They don't tip toe around controversy and pick their words specifically so they're not offensive to anyone. You don't see activists trying to lobotomize the Spanish language, because most South Americans fight it.
You could argue that's actually an English word. It's used exclusively by English speaking westerners. It's not even pronounced like a Spanish word. Unless they start pronouncing it Latin Equis, it's an English bastardization.
Spanish also has some brutish concepts ... constructs(?) in the way things are expressed. Much more simple than English. Almost like the difference between a normal meme (spanish) and a lefty meme (english).
That being said, though, I think that English is superior due to being able to express more nuances.
Now you stop taking vaccines that you previously would have gotten. Easiest one for me is for flu. I've gotten it past several years, not getting it this year, and none of my family will either.
Based on the almost undetectable flu numbers last year in North America, taking the influenza vaccine this year is almost as pointless as taking the COVID one.
yall member at the beginning of covi they were trying to tell everyone to take the flu vacc, that it would pretect you from covid. its all a big fucking sham.
And of course "opposes the use of vaccines" will be interpreted to encompass anyone who simply doesn't get one. If you ever skipped out on a flu shot for whatever reason, congratulations you're now a worse than a terrorist!

It also changed the definition of racism, because... a 22-year-old girl demanded it. It also labeled being color-blind as racism.
TL;DR: it's propaganda.
Morons at merriam-webster.
I think its time to start buying REAL dictionaries again, bois.
Ah, "They", their 2019 Word of the Year.
Soon we'll have no language left to use as a frame of reference for what is actually normal.

You can find a fucking shitload of books and old dictionaries there.
The definitions in the dictionaries before the 60's are more or less trustworthy. Then political correctness came along to mess it all up.

What about "Latinx"?
That was made by libshit first worlders, not the spanish.

Precisely.
The factual normal is now seen as being 'abnormal'. What really is abnormal is the new 'normal'.
Okay I'm an antivaxxer. What now?

Please stay in your home and the cattle car will soon roll by to get you.
Exactly what I was thinking. They did the same for racism, color-blindness and treating people equally is now racist, so now what?
By some retarded leftwing definition I'm antivax and racist, am I suppose to grovel?
And of course "opposes the use of vaccines" will be interpreted to encompass anyone who simply doesn't get one. If you ever skipped out on a flu shot for whatever reason, congratulations you're now a worse than a terrorist!
Ive never gotten the flu shot. Never gotten sick. Did people seriously regularly get it before?
Yeah, lots of people get them every year.
its similiart to the newish tranny hate laws - if you dont fuck a tranny then yiure a sexist bigot whos anti trans
i WONDER where its coming from🤔🤔🤔
They changed the definition of vaccine too
They did. Now Vitamin C is technically a vaccine, as is sunlight.
Suits me; now I can tell people I'm vaccinated.
By changing the meaning of words, they hope to control thought and thus behavior.
They did the same with epidemic and vaccination earlier this year.
and when MS STARTED MAKING digital dictionariers - this was the reason why.
i have every shot the doctor has offered, how am i anti-vax?
Cause the Party says you are...
These are both shitty definitions.
Which is why I use urban dictionary. It’s more truthful than the established ones.
