Brian represents that group of people that just say, “No it’s not!”, with authority. I forgot what they call themselves.
Brian?
Idiots?
The call themselves right. But not in the sense that they're aligned with that political ideology. They just think they're the only correct ones and everyone... else... is... (...wait a second...).

Who says you can't hear tone in text?
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.

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

Although it is an American dictionary, so it’s only going to be correct some of the time.

In what was almost certainly a precedented move, Brian was wrong.
And so is my spell-checker.
whoever runs their social media types pure fire.
