That’s some idiot morphology right there. Fuckin’ literacy rates giving out Participation trophies, FFS. What could go wrong?
FYI, kiddos†: Dictionaries are historical records, not current listings of usage standards (much less logic). If you are fine with sounding/presenting like an idiot, you’re week within your rights to do so. That wholly personal choice will not have much effect on pluralization of an exceedingly simple word in English — unless modern civilization crumbles and you & your kin are left to repopulate it, of course. 😶
† you cited Wikipedia, ergo.
/r/iamverysmart is back on reddit, feel free to head back any time.
edit: “you’re week within your rights…”? when chastising someone on word choice, might be worth your time to check your comment before posting
Being able to use the correct it’s/its cancels that out, as does they’re/their/there, et al. Thanks, though. 😘
This is just so wrong. English dictionaries are descriptive: they describe how the language is being used.
In 1961 people like you threw a fit that “ain’t” was added to Webster’s, despite its first known use over 200 years earlier.
English has no ultimate arbiter of “proper” use; it changes as people use it and dictionaries are a reference for how it is being used, not how it ought to be used.
Language is a living, changing thing. It doesn’t matter how many grammar nazis oppose the changes, if enough people start using a word or phrase in a different way, that becomes the “right” way to use the word/phrase. “Nice” used to mean foolish, “meat” once meant food in general, and in my lifetime “gay” went from “happy” to “homosexual”.
If you can’t accept that language changes, you’re gonna have a bad time.
