heartbreaking: this viral post is saying things you completely agree with in the most irritating way possible

#thinking about that one cringing = pearl clutching post i saw a while ago
#legitimately good points and the only time i’ve ever seen someone point out the linguistic shift
#of ‘cringe’ going from verb to adjective and how that takes the blame off of the people DOING the cringing
#like yeah! that’s it that’s the thing i’ve been trying to figure out how to say!!
#the insidious shift from cringe as an action of the beholder to a property of the beheld is not only worth examining
#but demonstrates a seriously important way our brains can be affected over time by language
#that was something i didn’t even notice! sure it bothered me but i didn’t know how to express WHY
#and i think it’s so cool to see someone finally manage to articulate smth that’s been pissing me off for years
#HOWEVER
#my god was op’s phrasing annoying the hell out of me for some reason
#just written in such a grating writing style i couldn’t bring myself to reblog it even though i really wanted to
