One could also argue that language degrades. Just a matter of perspective. Evolution implies it’s good, but a lot of this evolution is little more than losing language features or clarity.

Anti-intellectualism has been on the rise for decades and spelling gets worse? I am shocked I tell you!

Also: inb4 the “language evolves!” crowd arrives.

I get the feeling it’s the native speakers who are the worst offenders. The ones using English as a second language at the very least made an effort to learn the language.

I’m not saying they’re my ally or the solution to the internet. They’re a platform that is currently not containing as many nazis.

If a bar I’m in has aggressively drunk dudes in it, I can just go to the next bar over and have a good time. That bar doesn’t have to be fundamentally impervious to aggressive drunk dudes for this to be true and useful.

Well for one, most of the nazis stayed behind.
