I miss the good old days of surreal memes. Meme man and orang fighting against each other across an arbitrary and unpredictable universe, questioning the fabric of reality, surreality and irreality, all while striving to avoid eternal yamnation.

Semantic shift is the process, but there’s probably also a term for these words.

Even my constituency looks like it will be flipping! Nice.

So basically your argument is that an accent or dialect is only valid if it can be understood by people from outside that speech community? German and English both have the same linguistic origins, but they are not mutually intelligible. Does that make either or both invalid ways of speaking? Do you realise that phonological changes are a perfectly natural part of linguistic evolution and, given enough time, speakers of dialect X and dialect Y can stop being able to understand each other? Yes, you can code-switch to make yourself more understandable to speakers of another dialect, but that’s generally what you do when the differences between the two dialects are big enough that you feel the need to change the entire manner in which you speak.

Also accents are not people “choosing” to speak another way. It’s just a result of linguistic change.

I guess when that kind of nonsense comes from the Kremlin it kind of makes sense (not logically of course, but this is the Kremlin we’re talking about). What really confuses me is when Western news outlets treat it as if it would be bad if Ukraine had carried out a drone attack on Moscow or if it became public knowledge. In what reality are they living? Do they think it might trigger Putin to escalate further (🙄) or damage Ukraine’s reputation?

If a trolley is heading towards two wugs and there is a lever to switch it to another track with just one wug, but no one is present, does the trolley make a sound as it runs the two wugs over?
