This is more about how people can develop gaps in their vocabulary, and how certain words are used more online than in real life.

You’ve never heard the word pejorative said aloud, for instance.

I find the wording this post a bit pejorative. It lacks a certain nuance. I hope to see a return of normalcy on these normally welcoming boards.

Seriously though i think Normalcy is a Americanism and nuance is well a really quite common word that serves a very practical purpose. Cant really think of a way to replace it which doesnt sound more clumsy.

Pejorative… nah seems a but silly to use it. 90% of the time its used pretentiously.

not really annoying, but seem to read the term ‘gaslighting’ every day on twitter now.

six months ago I’d never heard of it but now everyone’s gaslighting each other all day long

Probably not, but most of us live a lot of our lives online now

And that’s a really depressing thought for a Sunday night

i’m aware it’s not a new phrase, just seems to have exploded in popularity recently
