    Why do you think that? I have seen and heard the use of the word “penultimate” as a literary device to praise something very good. It’s not even that big of a stretch. I’m sorry people only ever use words to mean exactly how they are defined in the dictionary when around you. Also, words are meaningless without the people who use them. Why don’t you try correcting people less and instead, when you think someone is using words incorrectly, try to understand in what way they could be correct.

      After all my days on Reddit and Lemmy, I am still amused by how conversations about female sex robots can somehow morph into a heated discussion about grammar or definitions.
