when my dad and my uncle were in grade school, one of their aunts came to visit. my uncle had warts on his hands, and their aunt offered to buy them.

he apparently thought this was as stupid an idea as everybody else did, but agreed to it. she gave him five bucks, which was a veritable fortune in those days, and after a couple weeks, the warts went away.

an interesting psychological trick. or coincidence. or a bullshit story.

basically if someone goes onto the internet to post as hyperballs hitler and make shitposts about their spec script for "Phat Turdz' Funkest Dunk: a christmas story" while weaving increasingly implausible tales about the smells of their bbq chicken farts, they're probably a pretty decent person just blowing off some steam. they're probably fairly Good in real life but need somewhere to vent the monkey disturbance that lives in the brain of every man. but if someone is on the internet to prove they are actually the apex of moral rectitude, watch the gently caress out. probably an psychopath

here's the thing. people don't have to go onto the interbnet to be more of themselves unless they can't be themselves in person. maybe they like train too much. have too much interest in fountain pen, for those around them. but no one is forced to go Underground about being too good of a person , or respecting women too much . u got to look out for the people who have to find a more easily controlled tabula rasa playground to assert theyre good because they're probably not very convincing in the "real world" where the " people harmed by their behavior" live

Deprecated. Depreciated is what happened to OnlyFans' imaginary stock price this week. Deprecated is when someone decides something is no longer desired or approved of. As in, I deprecated your mom last week.

both are correct... depreciate can also mean belittle or decry.

odd related side note: "self-deprecating" is actually supposed to be "self-depreciating" , but it was overcorrected similarly. but but it's what Garner calls a "skunked term": we're stuck with it, much as we are with someone's mom

Ehhhhhh....the belittle definition is more because of misuse. https://www.dailywritingtips.com/depreciate-vs-deprecate/ Same reason "literally" now is used as "figuratively".

I suppose this gets into the usual prescriptivist debate about whether words' meaning should always be fixed and never change, but I think there's still a difference (edit: as mentioned in the link above, the Latin origin for depreciate specifically means to reduce in price, so to me it seems clear it should be used only in a monetary sense) and I'm gonna go ahead and use them for their intended contexts.

the article says the opposite of what you're saying above, though... deprecate has only since the md-20th started to take over the belittle meaning, and depreciate was used more frequently in that sense until about 80 years ago, much like someone's mom.

if you're relying on etymology, deprecating literally means praying against.

You sound like a man who can help me: what is the term for why substituting syllables with soft consonants like s for ones with strong ones like p and d sounds wrong? It's a pet peeve for me that I can never articulate.

Or is that a subset of stressed metre?
