Brian represents that group of people that just say, “No it’s not!”, with authority. I forgot what they call themselves.

The call themselves right. But not in the sense that they're aligned with that political ideology. They just think they're the only correct ones and everyone... else... is... (...wait a second...).

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Confidently incorrect, to me at least.

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 41 points 21 hours ago (14 children)

I'm too dumb to get this one...why is this funny?

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 125 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Merriam-Webster is literally the dictionary, and Brian is trying to correct them on what is and is not a word.

[–] ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Yes that part I get, but I don't get the reply from the Merriam Webster account and why that is funny

[–] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 100 points 21 hours ago (17 children)

Because they’re being like “bro please, come on“

Their response is "Brian....". Like "let me hold your hand whole I say this"

It looks weird because they tagged him first

Is he arguing with fhe dictionary?!!wtf

[–] diemartin@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

My opinion is that once someone invents a word, it exists forever, even if it's later marked as obsolete/archaic.

Conversely, just because the dictionary doesn't have a word, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

In what was almost certainly a precedented move, Brian was wrong.

And so is my spell-checker.

Who says you can't hear tone in text?
