You are out of date and Webster's has nothing to do with it. Aint officially became a word when Bill Clinton used it while he was president. That is what counts, just like OK.

Ew yeah. Acronyms are now part of the Webster's word rolodex?

Next you'll say so is "LOL"... and then you'll have shown your hand!

Has a presiding president used LOL in a speech yet? I don't think text or Twitter would count.

It would not surprise be if Biden has.

Well yeah, Inconveniencing my affairs makes you very unergonomical.

Which come to think of it, thats the great challenge of our time. Getting everyone out of antiergonomical radicalism. So first we'll start wih taking out all the Grammar Nazi's!

Grammar Nazi's Lives Matter!

Don't make us start protesting. We'll take to the streets and read books. Books with paper and hardback covers! We'll bring this government to its knees! And when we take over, everybody will be forced to read.

Maybe I shouldn't have had that last shot of tequila.

Hmm.

So acronyms are in the word list. And 'counter-contractions' are too. Wait, and then a bunch of neo-liberal euphemisms and jingoistic newspeak terms. It went from conservative (ie am not), to liberal (ie aint), and before we knew it we "need" drag queens in every school.

No, no no no! Not perhaps instead we need to bring back the Grammer Nazi;s?



What a dark dystopian world wide web we're all woven into. Oh, you want to say "aint", you got it. Like we signed our souls over to the devil, or else you're a transphobe! Like worse than Nazi's. No. I just wanted everyone to lauf and have fun.

Those don't count and go so far as to challenge the status quo. Only what can be electronically edited and sources changed can count.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Sorry, had too.

Laugh Out Loud! I just noticed in that Hitler Grammer nazi meme, they have him saluting to the left.

That debate is now out of date, because common speech (judging by the way people write) has gone way beyond that abbreviation.
It is becoming commonplace to see the complete omission of any negative indicator in negative statements.
That is, giving permission takes the form "You can do that" and refusing permission takes the form "You can do that". How on earth are people supposed to tell the differenc? A society which can't clearly express the difference between "yes" and "no" really is losing the ability to communicate.

And that is why "grammar nazis" have a point. If there isn't at least some gradual consensus about language changes, with some awareness of what words actually mean, communication breaks down.
