Anything can be a word, and it can mean anything you want. If one person uses it, it's obscure, and if everyone uses it, it's common, but in both cases, it's a word.

Kuromitsh with your radical ideas!



I checked to see if my made up words might be real words and they kept coming up Afrikaner. What a butt ugly language that is.

-Indeed, all language at its core is a series of grunts that we apply meaning to.

Always cracks me up when people play the whole "why did you use that complex word" like brother no words are more complex then others, some are just more familiar to you than others.

reading dreck like "it will be quite a performant architecture" usually from some affiliate of our corporate overlords.

worse is "more performant". as if the existing actual nomenclature of "higher performing" doesn't work or make people think your spell check isn't working.

they're wrong and everyone who uses that fake word in a published article needs to be hit on the hands with a ruler by a nun repeatedly.

also, tech sites should hire actual editors, not just reviewers (i know, there's not even money for reviewers).
 
Of course it’s a word…and if you have multiples, you end up with “performants” and we’ve seen actors and musicians give performants.

I'm going to choose to blame AI.
 
Words that have pissed me off today:

A) Flavourful. What's wrong with "tasty"? "Oh that's full of flavour. It's flavourful" Well that buckets full of water, is it waterful?
B) Prosumer. Basically means someone who spends way more than they need on something that has good advertising but isn't professional equipment just to dick around on it.
