    Journalists are truth tellers. Influencers are false-tellers. Yellow journalism is written by influencers, not journalists. See the distinction?

      I’m learning a new language right now and I find myself reflecting more and more about the strengths and weaknesses of English.

      English is really good at a lot of things including humour and poetry. But it transforms overtime depending on region, culture, demographics, economics, marketing, and politics… Which makes miscommunication happen ALL THE TIME.

      I say this because you’re both right, and it’s frustrating because it limits our ability to have a meaningful conversation.
