I was literally having this conversation with my wife at dinner tonight.

It's becoming double plus ungood.

She provided some really good examples and all I could think of is how tech filters are causing people to use words like "unalive". Seriously, we're building the future dystopians that were written as fiction (and warnings) decades ago.

Pay attention to the word “perfect”. It is well on Its way to losing all meaning. People say it for so many responses.

Waiter: what can I get you today?

Me: I’ll have a BLT and a cup of soup

Waiter: perfect!

Me: no it’s not! It was a choice from the menu, and bastardization of very important words like “Perfect” take all meaning of it away until nothing is perfect anymore, and we all talk New Speak.

My wife: 🤦‍♀️
