There are plenty of dictionaries that don't manipulate you 1984 style. I don't recall calling for any bannings, either.

- huimang 4y ago“There are plenty of dictionaries that don't manipulate you 1984 style.” Yes, such as every major one. Dictionaries are prescriptive. People use different words or use them in different ways over time and dictionaries update to reflect that. The only difference is how fast they update.
- iratewizard 4y agoThere's a difference between changing a definition to match popular use and changing a definition to support a false narrative. Dictionaries are extremely expensive to run and rarely turn a profit. Are you surprised the "major ones" will lie straight to your face and intentionally warp your perspective of the world?
