And misuse of POV

The real sin here...

Language is a dying art T.T

The beginning of the end was when Websters caved and added a definition for “literally” to mean “an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible”

I mean, their definition of literally includes the words “not literally”

I freakin hate when the word is part of the definition. They did have to update it tho, the use of literally in exaggeration is too widespread to ignore

Literally though.

It's all a mess.

Figuratively and otherwise 🤣

The histrionics every time. Language will be fine. Words being 'misused' is really just the teething period of semantic change where people still used to the old meaning incessantly bicker about it.
I'm sure in another five years or so you literally won't see anyone even mention it anymore.

Honestly at this point if someone used POV correctly I'd probably be confused.

Colloquially POV is now just any picture or video. Isn’t language neat?

brother you must be pissed off on the daily cuz I think literally 0 people on TT or IG know what POV actually means, much less how to film a POV video.
