I’m perfectly happy to give orthographic dominion to Webster. They can be our Academie Francaise. They can control the definition drift. And the pedants can use their educational privilege to suppress the poors. As it should be.

Do you really think your language is racial? lolol

I didn’t say they weren’t. I just reject the notion that proper definitions aren’t gatekeeping. I’m not joining the above argument. I understand the definition is based on usage and the usage has changed. Most humans are morons and don’t know how to use words properly so they let language change over time.

Defining things properly isn’t gatekeeping. You said narrow. I didn’t.

Defining words properly isn’t gatekeeping, it’s categorization.

I came to Lemy for LESS moderation and MORE free speech. Nimby.

Scoop of protein powder, banana, handful of peanuts, shake of cocoa powder, 1/3rd cup oats, handful of berries, and coffee in a blender.

Meme has come to mean cartoon. Your usage is no different.

Meme doesn’t NOT originally mean cartoon, it just means a viral idea.
