@stupidlittlegenius: Think you can trust the dictionary? You can’t! It’s totally working with English to gaslight you! English has secret sound vibes called phonaesthemes that it’s using to control how you see words! GL words and shiny and bright! SL words are slippery. SW words are swishy! GR words are rough and gravelly! Sounds have meaning all of their own and English has been collecting for a long time and now, the dictionary has taken over our vocabulary and we didn’t even notice! #etymology #LearnOnTikTok #englishlanguage #linguistics #wordnerd

Love how many folks just ignored the word, "almost," in an effort to prove you wrong, and how many proved you right instead by using words that essentially means, "the lack of" the thing. :)
