    no hate to you but i do hate that this is one of the default responses the internet has chosen when discussing this language (twice now in this thread)

    i guess it’s like a growing pains thing, but it strikes me as very middle schooler, kind of like bringing up that one word that means unwilling to share with others.

    one is a noun/adjective, the other is a verb. entirely different words that simply have the same Latin root. one is used in a professional context in an industry nearly none of us are familiar with, the other i come across as a derogatory on this site pretty much hourly. please let’s grow up a bit about this.

    (again no hate to you specifically commenter, it was a funny joke and i just want to call out the broader trend)

      You’re just upset there’s a legitimate use for a word you’ve chosen some weird crusade over

        You know what else I’m upset about? There’s this insidious figure who has caused unimaginable grief and pain, hiding behind a facade of normalcy. He’s responsible for countless horrors, using his cunning and deceit to further his dark ambitions. His actions have shattered lives and spread fear like wildfire. Yeah, I’m talking about William Afton. If there’s one person who truly deserves all the anger and outrage, it’s definitely him.

          It’s been so long, since last I’ve seen my son, lost to this monster, to the man behind the slaughter

        This is rich coming from the crowd who throws a tantrum every time someone requests they stop saying a word

      This is a real convo I had with middle schoolers when I did a stint as a teacher.

      “But teacher why I can’t I say SHITAKE? it’s a mushroom. And James is acting like a little SHITAKE head.”

      It probably gets annoying as a bystander, but I don’t have a lot of opportunities to bring aviation into the rest of my life. Especially in a way that’s mildly funny.
