Weird. It's almost like colloquiality is a thing. Words weren't written down thousands of years ago to remain unchanged through usage. Or you could choose to be an inflexible pedant in a changing world...?
I assumed I could have a discussion on Lemmy about the very clear difference between two words without getting attacked for it, but I guess not.
I also don't agree that the word inflation has colloquially changed meaning, I think people just are not aware that inflation is normal now. They look at the current prices due to the period of previous inflation and are angry about it.
You're entitled to your opinion. But just repeating "inflation means something different" in various ways and doubling down on being offended that others don't agree with you is not "discussion". Wish you the best, we need you...
I'm more surprised at how quickly the Lemmings got emotional about this than I am offended. Also that's kind of reductive to say I'm just repeating and doubling down. I'm trying to explain myself. I guess I should just acquiesce to the Lemmy masses or not comment at all, because that's how we foster a community.
Thanks for the somewhat reasonable comment, I guess.
