Yeah it can, it’s cause it makes the fridge have to do more work to keep the insides cool

No direct damage, but indirectly through making it work much harder for no reason

Ventilation, in German

Honestly, you might enjoy the PopSci book Because Internet it’s by a linguist that studies neologisms and emerging language patterns as her main focus, focusing specifically on the growth of casual informal language that has only been made possible by The Internet

It’s the UK government, their digital crimes division is basically 2 men in a shed

This is basically a rule that will not get policed unless they wanna find an excuse to fuck over a dissident that they can’t find any other excuse to put in prison

There’s this thing in linguistics, casual language requires backchanneling - to respond back with either short utterances that show you understand, or to show confusion and then ask for clarity

The reason formal language is formalised, as in the shit used in essays, is that there is no easy way to say “what did you mean?” - the feedback loop is far too slow for that process and by the point the author(s) get to respond they likely forget what they meant as well

prescriptivism

(linguistics) The practice of prescribing idealistic norms, as opposed to describing realistic forms, of linguistic usage.

E.g.

• Most linguists in this age believe that prescriptivism is outmoded and should no longer be used
• Most linguists in this age believe that descriptivism is a more accurate model of language than prescriptivism
• Most linguists in this age believe that “correcting” language unnecessarily is actively harmful, as it stifles the evolution of a living growing thing, which prescriptivism fails to accurately model
• Most linguists in this age agree the more important factor is CONTEXT, that you should use the correct language style for the context, whereas prescriptivism falls flat as it ignores context. Contextual Language is the idea that you use a different style of language talking to your boss then you do to your friend, then you do to your best friend, than you do to a stranger

Just please, say the quiet part loud, that’s all people want.
