Who says you can't hear tone in text?
In what was almost certainly a precedented move, Brian was wrong.
And so is my spell-checker.
I am whelmed by this exchange
I'm frankly plussed.
I'm somewhat gruntled
This whole exchange is tressing.
It's perfectly cromulent
I'm pretty ert right now.
This is so turbing.
whelm /wĕlm, hwĕlm/
transitive verb
- To cover with water; submerge.
- To overwhelm.
Technically correct (still the best kind of correct). However, the meaning has changed a but due to the word's falling into disuse. Colloquially, it is now used as a mid-point between overwhelmed and underwhelmed, describing a situation as a mundane experience. Not disappointing, too stimulating, or even satisfying; just neutral ("Tell my wife I said 'Hello'").
OP wants to let you know that this exchange made them wet ☝️🤓
Everything reminds me of her.
Brian represents that group of people that just say, “No it’s not!”, with authority. I forgot what they call themselves.
Is he arguing with fhe dictionary?!!wtf
My opinion is that once someone invents a word, it exists forever, even if it's later marked as obsolete/archaic.
Conversely, just because the dictionary doesn't have a word, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Many words are forgotten, so I disagree with that they exist forever.
I agree but he is saying the opposite lol
I know lol
Just reminded me of those that consider the dictionary a holy book, and new words against the Rules of Nature™
I'm too dumb to get this one...why is this funny?
Merriam-Webster is literally the dictionary, and Brian is trying to correct them on what is and is not a word.
Yes that part I get, but I don't get the reply from the Merriam Webster account and why that is funny
Their response is "Brian....". Like "let me hold your hand whole I say this"
It looks weird because they tagged him first
Ah, that was a tag. I'm too unfamiliar with Twitter lol.
