Merriam-Webster has been the shit dictionary ever since they defined "literally" as a synonym for "figuratively." Yes, I'm still holding that grudge.

What is a woman? Someone who identifies as a female.

Hey, who has a copy of when they changed the definition of a word to become hateful. I think it was during the Kavanaugh hearings.

It was Amy Coney Barrett and it was Sexual Preference. Professional race grifter and baby killer Mazie Hirono claimed “sexual preference” was an anti-LGBTLMNOP hate word, so Merriam Webster changed the definition within minutes.

The picture of those two freaks makes me sick to my stomach just thinking about them representing our country in any capacity.

And they do so in such a gleeful and hateful manner, too...

Admiral Levine recently claimed that the trans suicide rate is apparently exclusively due to bigotry.

Its right in a way. The bigots in question are the trannies themselves.

It has truly amazed me how many formerly reputable publications have bent the knee to this nonsense.

Well, I guess they got their patch update to answer "what is a woman" now. Bear in mind, they changed the word "female," too.
The world will be as they say it is. And if the language they speak fails them, they will change the language.

Commie scum took over the dictionaries because that's one of the tactics communists use to demoralize superior societies: fucking with the language.

Stockpile your reference books from before 1950.

Other than checking for spelling or etymology online, for which I use whatever appears first in my search, I exclusively use The American College Dictionary, published by Random House, copyright 1969.

All contemporary dictionaries bend with the political winds and are totally unnecessary, especially if you reject the current trend of validating woke cant by shoehorning it into the lexicon. It's a tactic used to lend legitimacy to absolute nonsense.

I always like to remind people that judges use dictionary definitions to help them determine what words mean in court.
