I was looking something up earlier today and saw this "hitlist" on the side of the Merrian-Webster website. Fascism all the way on the top tells you quite something about society these days...

Well this says a lot about the current state of society... [Screenshot of the top 7 most looked up definitions in the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Number one on this list is fascism.]

MerriamWebster lies and tells people "sneaked" is a word and that "literally" means the opposite of what it does.

Not an accepted source.

From now on I will write 'warmwarm' instead of 'lukewarm'
😁

(screenshot of post by Merriam-Webster - top - answering the question at the bottom) @MerriamWebster 'Luke' is an archaic word meaning "tepid,warm but not hot." Which means 'lukewarm' is technically reduntant.. "warmwarm." @tsitsi why is it called lukewarm like why isn't medium warm, who is Luke?

How is CHOOSE VIOLENCE 7/7 used? Usually humorously and tongue-in-cheek. There are literal ways to choose violence, • none of which we recommend, and none of which are referred to by the slang use of choose violence. The phrase, in various permutations, is most often invoked for less serious offenses, like suggesting a hot dog is a sandwich, or that a hot dog is not a sandwich. merriam-webster.com/slang
