So the #wordinflation started decades ago -

@veranderwens @EUCommission what you call "word inflation" is simply basic language evolution.
I'd recommend learning a bit about #linguistics before voicing bad takes about it.

@veranderwens @EUCommission it has, in fact, started thousands of years ago. We have records upon records upon records of 'word inflation' aka language

In my opinion using the prefix eco- is almost a form of greenwashing.
Except in ecocide -

@veranderwens @EUCommission as far as I'm aware, you aren't an Oxford/Hebrew Academy/Academy of the Arabic Language/insert any language regulator professor; your opinion doesn't really affect anything at all.

It is not monarchism to use the word 'real' in the meaning of actual, although in spanish 'real' means 'royal'; therefore, it is not greenwashing to call Apple's ecosystem 'ecosystem'.
You cannot control what other people say, and you cannot simply assign ideologies to words; The fact that the Likud is rightist does not make the Hebrew word for 'consolidation' rightist in itself.

@veranderwens @EUCommission and "everyone is entitled to an opinion", yes, but that does not mean you're entitled to spread it as if it was truth. Unless you have reliable sources or a title to back that claim up, I'm just gonna call you a disinformant and move on.

@veranderwens @laxla @EUCommission … and you’ve just given the word inflation another context. Congratulations, you’ve just extended the English language

@paulkyu @veranderwens @EUCommission we should add it to Etymological fallacy on Wikipedia (and yes, I've added ecosystem already).

@paulkyu @veranderwens @EUCommission though, imagine your bad takes being immortalized forever on Wikipedia. Ouch. A reminder to all of us not to say stupid things on the internet without sources.
