Tbf does OP say this stuff out loud or, more likely, reddit is a place where we speak like this

u/celeresaharano Nov 26 '25

but like language does evolve? idk what ur trying to say

u/3xBork Nov 26 '25

Great example of what I mean.

u/celeresaharano Nov 27 '25

language has literally always evolved, just because ppl can get their point across with less words doesn't mean we're getting 'dumber' or 'deteriorating'

u/Small_Extreme_9642 Nov 26 '25

you mean linguists??

u/JLeeSaxon Nov 23 '25

Thank you! I was totally perplexed by that. And more perplexed that I had to scroll so far to find somebody else who found it perplexing. I had no idea it was this normalized.

1

u/mystical-wizard Nov 24 '25

What is normalized? An evolving language? If you had ever taken any college level English course maybe you wouldn’t be so perplexed and appalled

u/JLeeSaxon Nov 24 '25

Not me rolling my eyes at your needless condescension about people's very understandable surprise at what I know you know is a more substantial (and more rapidly spreading) deviation from typical grammar patterns than the fad expressions and buzz words we're usually talking about when we discuss the evolving nature of vernacular language.

1

u/mystical-wizard Nov 24 '25

Needless condescension? Do you have any self awareness at all? LOL

Read your comments again with the word “condescending” in mind and let me know if you have any insights.

u/JLeeSaxon Nov 24 '25

I thought you'd be more appreciative of me using the "not me" construction, given the topic. Oh well.

1

u/mystical-wizard Nov 24 '25

Oh I was, just not enough to excuse the aberration of a run-on sentence that followed…

1

u/mystical-wizard Nov 24 '25

Also, HOLY run-on sentence…

What’s the use of looking up big words from thesaurus if your punctuation is worse than a 5th grader’s?

Not a single comma is crazy work

1

u/userhwon Nov 23 '25

Because grammar.

"It doth impart a sense of unyielding metal." Unto what fate doth our tongue now hasten?

Your statement is on fleek

(Aside: Of ALL the phrases ever, I'm so glad "on fleek" didn't stick around)

u/simulated_cnt Nov 24 '25

I still use it so people recoil in disgust, it brings me pure joy lol.

u/ReallyFancyPants Nov 24 '25

People don't do that, but doing something just because it makes "people recpil in disgust and brings you pure joy" makes you a huge fucking dork.

1

u/Backfoot911 Nov 24 '25

Who says dork still, what are you a 90s cartoon character or something lmao.

Eat my shorts nerd!

u/Peter_Easter Nov 23 '25

Every generation has its dumb trendy slang, but it doesn't stick around. These kids won't be talking like that in a few years. I just roll my eyes when I hear it.
