Language is not the same thing to all people. Having two different terms, one for permanent changes and one for more temporary changes, seems useful and beneficial to the language.
For you, the distinction in terms apparently does not exist. But for some, including me, this distinction exists. Would it not be better for us all to adopt the distinction?
- jamesblonde 3y agoIs it not better to be just understood? Like 0.01% of the population know what RIF means. But as soon as RIF becomes widely understood, with all the negative connotations of layoffs, a new term will be need for some other nuanced reason.
