This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

France has an authority for their language and its three main domestic dialects.
It'd be nice if a similar but global body gate-kept the drift in English. The current system where high-school cliques decides what's Fetch and Mirriam-Webster's monkeys just write it all down with no cohesion is not a basis for progress.
Language people: English has surprising inconsistencies.
Also language people: 'literally' now also means its exact opposite because Ashley said so.
Lmao, imagine using France as an example for what to do.
Is there some frequency (weekly? monthly?) with which drift has impaired your communications, impacted your work?
It’s OK if it’s just a general frustration, I’m only curious.
