“Latinx” is based, we are forcing hundreds of millions of people to change how they refer to themselves in order to fit in with American ideology. It’s the ultimate expression of dominance.

>>18926902
You're only forcing your own kind to follow leftist ideologies, Ameripig. No one outside Burgerland cares, let alone forces others to do such things. It's like spitting to yourself thinking you're attacking others.

>>18926933
Cope and seethe. Maybe it’s not “Latinx”, but “Latines” and the usage of “-e” are only growing in popularity in Latin America. We will make Spanish gender neutral and there is nothing you can do about it. Spanish rewritten by Americans will be the Spanish your grandchildren will speak.

>>18926948

>>18926948
"Latines" is a meme from ftwitter eminists and queers in places like Spain. It has nothing to do with Burgerland's "latinx."

i find that the most impressive writing hints at a well-read erudite genius who distills his language into something pithy but meaningful, but without relying on rare words that alienate listeners. idk why, but that's the impression I get when I read Strunk's quote:

"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."

>>18928110
Strunk & White give fine advice for the writing of journalism, operator's manuals, business correspondence, and High School book reports, but can safely be disregarded for literary purposes. Most particularly for ornate poetry, satire of a highly digressive sort, and personal essays that immerse the reader in the writer's perspective by emphasizing impressions & details usually omitted for narrative clarity. The cancer of vogue-words is another matter altogether, and and always prevails most among the aliterate young.

This is a horrible crutch, a literary tic that so many people use. I can't stand it.

Yes, there are legitimate uses for it when you're about to state something that modifies your previous statement, but 99% of people don't use it that way. Everybody seems to use it merely as some weird transitional phrase to begin new trains of thought. It disgusts me.

I started noticing it several years ago on various websites and now I can't unsee it. It's everywhere. Once you start looking for it you'll realize how common it is, and it'll burrow in your brain like a worm. I'm sorry to do this to you all but maybe I'll find some catharsis in spreading the virus. I wish I'd never started noticing it, but really, I blame the disgusting people who use it so cavalierly

>>18926897
Why are Americans so fascinated by words ending in -a (gonna, trynna, finna, lotta)? Is it from nigger influence or maybe southern influence? I don't understand the appeal.

As far as i know the south regaining its sanity as well.
American society dying is none of our concern.
But i find it interesting how right wing american incels are reflecting their destruction to Europe.
I see it more and more often that they point their finger at us and trying to cope by claiming that the situation is worse here.

Sounds nice, but here (portugal) there is an ever increasing americanization of politics and culture. I've seen for the first time, a few months ago, some retards interacting with each other, IN ENGLISH as they/them. And although "eles/deles" would still be a sign of their mental illness "they/them" is simply the clearest warning of globohomo.

>The cancer of vogue-words is another matter altogether, and and always prevails most among the aliterate young.
Cancer might be a bit strong, and although the thread's theme is clearly on "vogue-words", the problem I was getting at was using complex words when simple ones have the same (or an even better) match. (Utilize, use).

>but can safely be disregarded for literary purposes.
it's good first-order advice one can flesh out -- not all can be rid of the crutches of style manuals, since we're not all talented, even when writing personal essays.

But I'm derailing the thread. My point to >>18926883
is that even "annoying" words tell more than they denote, and that if not for their speaker, they endow the listener with knowledge about culture and context. so: none, i don't hate any words in today's english. in fact, maybe i'm just a boomer, but >>18926891's word "cheugy" is funny and I'll try to use it irl.

>>18931201
Americans are conversational people so we use conversational language and slang. It gets the meaning across to people who may not have a firm grasp of English or when we have to communicate something fast.

We're both the most heterogenous and most hard-working people in the global north. Of course our way of speaking is going to reflect that.

>>18931387
It was cool when there was a fight against Hollywood cool to steal the glamor shined on approved list of (((niggers))) and niggers. Lil B broke the shame barrier to DMX's shame with his audacious "I'm Based" mantra. Whites found it good politically to fight their own shamers with audacity. We are cloaked in a big tent and we can use nig cloaks to our advantage for a season. Now blacks have surrendered in kneeling bribed joy and been bribed wholesale so theyre's nothing based about "I'm the Jordan Peterson of Rap" or Kanye West posing with Donald Trump. Rap and thus "based" loses its original rebel energy and now itself has PR gubernatorial flavor. However White dissidents remained the edgy criminal dissident radical element capable of commanding this illicit term because the same PR govt that held up Rick Ross et al villified us to our advantage. Now we are locked down we have nothing but stagnant self image left to echo "based" into. There is no battlefield for "based" to live on in meme war only dusty cringe. Pick related shows the high for what it is. These peak boomer intellectuals are not "based". Imagine some dummie yelling "BASED!1!!" in a debate room full of their readership like they do in livestream superchats. They're right about one specific subject matter but douse their prosletyzation in so much submission that their half of darkness overshines their half of truth. All in all these guys cripple us with these publication grift tactics and we chant "based" as dosage like the cocaine it is. All because we are molded by the disabilities we enforce as our current perverted moral code. Now look at us. Locked up on thin melting ice with no economy to participate in. No more "base" desires to drug up with platitudes and dispensations. Just austere detached realization and the old civil white lexicon of true English for the Anglo. Admirable, my good white chap, quite admirable we must be not base anymore have you not heard what the great demographer Ibn Khaldun said about the based negroes?

>i don't get this word, when whining exists
Variants of the same word. From different dialects. Far back in Old English they were distinct. Whine was much broader, whinge close to the now-meaning. British/Commonwealth favours whinge. Can have slightly different usage for those who use both natively. e.g. someone whining is to whimper whereas whingeing is to complain with words or reluctance. For those who don't have both, seems mostly the same and they tend to use one or the other.

Americans constantly misspell. You can tell if someone's a burger by spelling mistakes like "effect" instead of "affect". They're two different words and they mix them up every time. There are other cases I can't recall off the top of my head that annoy me a lot. "Try and" instead of "try to" is also annoying. I used to find cases like "their/they're", "it's/its" aggravating as well until I realized that they're probably the fault of auto-correct on phones.
