- andybak 11y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_prescription https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_prescription vs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_description https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_description You might dislike it but it's become common usage in the js community so by any reasonable non-prescriptive definition of 'means' it 'means' what this author says.
