Prescriptivism is the norm, has been for a few centuries now. If you are of the bourgeois or lower you either accept it or you stay put. 0.001% understand well enough to advance in society without being a retarded prescriptivist.
>>25205026yes>>25205038this
>>25205038Descriptivism is the norm
>>25205042Widespread poor usage is not proof of anything but poor usage. Only people who learn descriptive grammar are those who go into linguistics and a small number of autists.
>>25205060We're talking about English dictionaries
>>25205082>plotfagSo, historical dictionaries should not exist? we should destroy the OED? Dictionaries should not document usage even if they become completely irrelevant? Dictionaries of slang and idiom should be done away with?The few attempts at doing this have been complete failures. But the original point was that prescription has never been bourgeois, it was always a means to an end, a way to make retards less insufferable. Ascribe to it if you goal in life is to rise to middle management but no higher.
>>25205103>using the word ascribe to mean subscribeAre you sure you're not just coping with being ESL?
>>25205130>prescription means I am always right!Really working hard for that middle management position,
>>25205026The poet is to the dictionary as the adulteress is to the (modern) cuckold
>>25205146What most people call a 'cuckold' is, in fact, a 'wittol' or 'wittold'
>>25205137Positions in management have to do with connections and networking and education and that's just about all, cultural capital as such does not really exist except as a correlation.
What's so bourgeois about prescriptivism anyway?
>>25205193>doesn't know the difference between middle management and managementlol. You are destined for great things.
>>25205202What I said applies to all levels of management. I am destined to continue to live by gambling and speculating
>>25205210Rising to middle management has nothing to do with connections or networking, you just kiss ass and tow the line. You are either underaged and larping or a neet and larping or doomed to clean toilets for life.
>>25205174Thanks anon. I learned a new word today
>>25205174the poetaster is to the dictionarian as the adulteress is to the wittold
>>25205226You are way out of touch with the current job market if you think promotion in most of the private sector still works that way
>>25205239You can't just go into middle management unless you have a good record in middle management but anyone willing can work up to middle management, just need to be less retarded than most and willing to play the games of both sides.
>>25205248
>>25205250>90% of middle management are boomers going into retirement>nooooo! you can't move into middle management anymore!
>First Known Use>15th centuryLiterally every fucking time.Also>return toWat?
>>25205254The image is intended as sarcasm. I don't actually care about management or middle management or any of that. I don't like working for others
>>25205265>everything I said was bullshit but I am still right
>>25205267Have sex. Amd get some sleep
>>25205272I don't really sleep on the weekends, habit I got into back in middle school. Currently waiting for audio to render, been learning CSound7, lots of new stuff to learn since 6. Sex is fairly regular these days. Nice deflection.
>>25205283Thanks, nice penis Sir Loinsalot
>>25205358It is Sir Porksalot.
>>25205283That's a bad habit honestly. It will absolutely wreck your life in your 40s.
>>25205681You have never understood what it means to grind and hustle. That's why you're a failure
>>25205691Whoa, buddy, I'm not even the anon you responded to. I would work 20 hours a day and hustle harder than you even dreamed of so don't be a faggot with me, buster brown. And I paid for that, too, just like I said. Believe it. Don't. Idgaf but you're giving your very life away. So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
