Prescriptive linguists are losers. Descriptive linguists are winners. Almond milk is called almond milk because it's milk and it's from almonds.

- Festro 3y agoAgreed. Everyone understands what 'almond milk' means, nobody is misled by it and it's really not the critical issue dairy farmers are facing when it comes to the downfall of their industry.
- weare138 3y agoThey know their arguments are disingenuous. It's a ploy by the big agro-conglomerates to maintain their stranglehold over the dairy market. They've been artificially inflating and fixing the price of milk and stifling any competition for decades now. The dairy industry is a tax subsidized financial house of cards incapable of actually competing in a fair market. If demand for milk suddenly falls so does the house of cards.
