You can't even type 'hell'. Maybe embrace the full usage of the language first. *NM* The Shrike Send a noteboard - 16/02/2022 03:04:09 PM

Language changes. The meanings of words change. Their usage changes. And English is a particularly stupid language already, so I always roll my eyes when I see posts like this.

Roll with it. Heck, come up with a few changes of your own so you spend less time infuriated with what others say. If you know they mean systemic when they say systematic, and so does everyone else, the purpose of the word has been served.
