Tell you what: "devoid" was definitely a word I knew and used in elementary school.
Am I normal? Nah, not really.
Am I human? I'm pretty damn sure I am, yeah.

Reduction to a mean pollutes the source for everyone. The idiocracification of humanity continues apace. @artemis This is the opposite of the curb cut effect. They're harming everyone by repressing autistic people. @foolishowl @artemis "on the suggestion of tech companies we have decided to raise all curbs by 10-20 cm." @foolishowl @artemis They're harming everyone directly. It's just automated anti intellectualism. @artemis sounds like a white supremacy machine tbh. prescriptivism has always been racist. @artemis I've always trended towards a high vocabulary — which, I might add, is something that *used* to be considered an extremely positive thing that was pushed to be grown as much as possible in kids. And then there's how I basically *had* to go out of my way to learn the word "malicious" back in second grade to counteract some bullshit comebacks my teachers had about the boys teasing me. >_< |
Imagine coming up with a machine that effectively gets to decide how humans are "supposed to" write and speak.
