    English’s biggest problem as a language is the efforts to break it even further. This idea that popular things push that state of the ever-evolving language is why we have ‘mid’ and ‘based’, which are completely detrimental no matter how fetch they seem. People who find apostrophes hard to use should not be driving the evolution of a language on some famewhore channel.

      That sort of change is how we got every version of the language at every point in history. Whichever version of English you think is the best, it was made the same way.
