Anyone else wonder how some folks will say language sometimes changes related to people speaking lazily, but then you get words changing meaning/emerging with extra syllables like “irregardless” or “disorientated”?
When posts like this pop up, it makes me wonder 'bout those extra syllable words, “So how’s that happen, then?”
But no, seriousnessly, get a pinch of lazy, add a pinch of troll, throw in some euphemism, mix thoroughly for a while, and shit happens, like birds and bees.

For sure! I’ve mainly heard/read these from native English speakers, which is where more of the confusion comes from.
Sometimes it’s discombobulating, isn’t it?

That means all mixed up
People want to sound fancy.
Boned and deboned mean the same thing.
That’s just your wife trying to change the subject
But fucked and unfucked don’t
Crazy how nature do that
I want to say overregularization.
People when normal language evolution exists: 😱
