    So my understanding of it is that one person who has a lot of followers made a video using the word in an arguably improper manner, a bunch of other people making more videos more or less using it ironically to make fun of it, and then a bunch MORE people just started using it completely wrong because it’s been a game of Shitty Telephone from the people who used it correctly (first persons teacher, or a book somewhere) and the end result makes absolutely no sense.

    Or, if you will excuse the slanted metaphor, “Ai learning from Ai”

      Have you noticed these mistakes come in waves? I noticed it with brakes vs breaks, everyone was using it fine, and then all of a sudden everyone is fucking it up.

    I’ve noticed young people improperly using the word demure lately.

    Has education really gotten so bad that learning a single, common 15-year-old-reading-level word means they have to keep using it over and over again?

      No it’s a joke and a trend from a video on tiktok. Why do people, especially here lately, jump to hate on anything ‘TikTok’ or ‘new’ from the younger generations? We all had our stupidity, shit, people STILL staple bread on trees
