The current generation of Americans tends to assign imaginary meanings to random dictionary words. Some clinicians might classify this as a sign of mental illness, but this is an unpopular enough opinion that few would venture to voice publicly.
- jpitz 8y agoIt seems odd to me that you single out Americans here. Do you have no experience with any other group? I have observed Europeans do this as well.
- sigfubar 8y agoI'm not American and have little contact with Americans outside of the people I work with. In my experience Americans have set the tone for the sort of behavior I've described in my previous comment, although it's by no means limited to just Americans. For example, there are definitely some Russians who broadcast loudly about "diversity" and "inclusiveness", but these people themselves cite American sources in their rhetoric, and they aren't seen as generally in agreement with the larger Russian culture.
