- ggm 2y agoJoin me, and we can form an army. We need to solve this, and "learnings". I think it's possible this becomes the Butlerian Jihad but without spice.

- ggm 2y agoLiterally, Figuratively, Virtually and Actually. Great words, frequently misused. I also adore "very unique"
- colecut 2y ago"Literally" has been abused so much that they have officially made an informal definition of it to mean "figuratively." Which means "literally" is now its own antonym. Pretty wild

- defrost 2y agoA pluralization once popular in 14th Century Middle English that died out until ressurected in central north American business English. In 2016 Grammarist was to the point. "Learnings is a pluralization of an erroneous form of learning as a singular noun. Said singular noun (e.g., a learning) does not exist, at least according to most dictionaries. Colloquially, especially in the medical field, learnings means specific items that were newly discovered or learned." https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-plural-form-of-learning-Is-it-learnings https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-plural-form-of-learning-Is... they're since softened that stance and now discuss how it is poorly used. https://grammarist.com/usage/learnings/ https://grammarist.com/usage/learnings/
