Hence, photos of the infamous and proliferous vending machines.
- bobthepanda 5y agoAre they infamous? Quite frankly after visiting I wish there were more of them back home, selling something other than soda.
- ehnto 5y agoHm, yes famous would have been the more clear word to use. I think they're great. The word infamous has always been blurry for me, since it's often used ironically, in which case it just means "famous" again.
- bobthepanda 5y agoI think the problem with a word like infamous is that it kind of requires the context of the author or speaker's social mores, and if you don't share their value judgement then they're just famous. And social mores have changed a lot and even now vary from person to person.
