is misusing the medical term widely adopted tho? or is it mostly online people that say / hear it?

im arguing that what is happening with the term isnt an aspect of the greater evolution of language, but that specific terms that come and go in a relatively short period of time do not equate a change of how people are doing language.

i appreciate the phrases you offered as examples, but i do not feel they are equivalents, as none of them are single words that are also literally medical terms.

im amused and delighted that we are having this discourse based on a hyper focus on a phrase. but i do hold firm that this is not a reflection of language changing as it is passing trend that in time may have no affect on the greater function of the language itself.

forgive me if i wasnt more concise earlier, im always high when im on here.

edit - i had to edit that a bunch. i should go to bed

agreed, but individual terms trending or not, dont equate a “change of the language” so much as a change of whats trending in said language. a semantic nitpick, to be sure. :)

20s are a frigging hoot. *shrug

true all around

edit … on second thought, im not sure i agree its a “natural change in language” so much as it is a cultural meme that people just thoughtlessly parrot. so, i feel language hasnt changed so much as a term of the moment has. but anyway, im rambling. cheers.

when did it become acceptable to just call everything autism? i can tell you im pretty damn sick of it and it hasnt even been that long.

very well said

i enjoyed the comic, and even the inclusion of theo vaughn.

but ive gotta point out that IQ is some nonsense

that all sounds wonderful

yeah i consider myself a 90s kid bc i was born in the 80s

thanks :)

ngl, now i feel a little silly for not having gotten it.

ofc not, they are just fixing their fur

90s kid here. i dont get it.

agreed.

also im just noticing that the op literally called Kubuntu a KDE software. its clear they are heavily under informed.

im extremely against posts being removed, but i can see the logic here. the letter is laying hypotheical future blame on KDE if Kubuntu decides to do something.

thats like telling gnome that i’ll stop using ubuntu if ubuntu does something i dont like. why should gnome care?

the letter is misdirected

yall got any of them there cars in qb?

“Injury prevention and other effects of stretching remain poorly investigated”

if the above really does appear in the article, this whole post should be removed imo.

KDE isnt in charge of what Kubuntu does at all.

im with you in general, but i find this letter to be lacking specifics and vague enough to possibly leave a reader less clear on the situation.

for sure, i still have a bottle or two around, but i rarely every use them anymore since the shaker is so much cheaper, faster, and more able to add heat. like you said, without changing the flavor too much. :)

asking you where youre from is hilarious

they easily might have meant that the distro they will be using has declared they will not implement this
