A homophone misspelling and a grocer's apostrophe: double whammy. What would Our Lady think?
Found in a Mayo church. Can’t decide if it’s a call to revolution or a typo.
@stronglang Please note this is a repost of @Fritinancy's article. (She is not using her twitter account at present.)
@tonythorne007 @stronglang I stopped at ‘assholocene’. My world is now complete
@barrypopik @stronglang @doctorow No big surprise, since Ussification took 2d place last year, behind -ussy. The voters seem to be attracted to naughty "ification" words. Perhaps "Ifficationication" might win next year?
"The term enshittification was coined by the writer Cory Doctorow in a November 2022 blog post." If you ignore all of the above, I guess. cc @doctorow @bgzimmer @GrantBarrett @btaylorblake @EsnpcB en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittif…

@stronglang @bgzimmer @LanguageLog Thanks. Old man forgets. Again. So this is not so early, but still has its appeal.
Is it me or linguistics is one of the only scientific fields where non-experts think they know more than actual experts? It doesn't seem as prevalent in fields like, say, physics or medicine
