When Our Dictionaries Gave Up The Ghost

”Blatantly tossing out something with such clearly racial overtones is an odd choice when you look at their full announcement of 600 new words added to their dictionary. Their explanation of how they arrived at some of these selections is simply dripping with wokeness warrior goodness.”

English will schism into dialects, a leftist dialect and a conservative dialect, and they will be unrecognizable to each other. Remembering 20th-century English enables conservatives to speak in code, unbreakable by leftists.

Also incorporate logic and numbers into your exposition, which are incomprehensible to leftists.

Words I include in conversation as often as possible:

trump
gun
bullet
trigger
master
slave
straight
white
man
yuge
bigly
win
right
fake
drill
frack
oil
coal
statue
alien
orange
apprentice
art
deal
never
give
up

Can anyone offer more?

Someone should preserve a copy of the Oxford English Dictionary before leftists vandalize it.

Ludicrous word proliferation. You can't keep up. A language should strive to be as compact as possible. It's as dumb as using Chinese characters instead of a phonetic alphabet.

An essential feature of the language of mathematics is that it is in its most compact and elegant form. It is pithy.

The Oxford English Dictionary is masterfully pithy. Its definition for the word pithy is pithy.

Pithy: Much matter in few words.

Not only will leftists dictionaries multiply words beyond necessary, in violation of Occam's razor, they will also use unpithy definitions.

Clearly, you need to stop your crimethink and adopt goodthink, before you get unpersoned. These changes are absolutely doubleplusgood.

@Garsco

I doubt it. I'm making reference to the "newspeak" from Orwell's 1984. It seemed appropriate, given the article.

I mean, they're removing the word "slave." Seriously. The word "slave" is now so problematic that we need to ban it from language altogether. Oy vey.

You must have "slaved" over that one. I just made up that word. You won't find it in the dictionary.

@Garsco

Yeah, it's pretty bizarre, isn't it?

I mean, I read something the other day that suggested the word "blacklist" needs to be removed from our vocabulary. And I found myself thinking, this word has NOTHING to do with racism, the black community, or the price of oolong in Shanghai. Yet, we need to cancel this word because it has the word "black" in it and has a negative connotation.

Back in the 1980s, there was a Washington Post editorial that made quite a stir because the writer chose to use the word, "niggardly," which is a word meaning stingy or cheap. And that the Washington Post ultimately posted a semi-apology, explaining that the word had nothing to do with what everyone was complaining about - basically implying that everyone up in arms are a bunch of illiterate turds - but then said that it would be more mindful in the future of using words that could be "easily misinterpreted."

That was almost 40 years ago. Things have not improved.

New speak has been going on for a long time. You can see it in the erasure of previous Pharaohs from monuments in Egypt.
