Extinct: gone out of use : superseded
Extinction: the act of making extinct or causing to be extinguished
How is this NOT an accurate use in this context? Seriously: did this perfectly valid, dictionary acceptable usage actually confuse you?
- matthewfelgate 3y agoBecause it's not extinction. It's not like nobody is ever going to be able to hit a backhand tennis shot 1 handed ever again. Therefore it's not extinction.
- Ensorceled 3y agoSo, pedantry? Not confusing, but the hyperbole offended your sense of exactitude?
- matthewfelgate 3y agoThis is how we end up with alternative facts, fake news.
