Or maybe today I'm just super pissy
Nov. 30th, 2019 02:30 ambecause I'm also thinking "Instead of going 'I'm not sure, but I think $FACTOID', why not just spend a full minute googling first to see if it's true?" This goes double for etymologies - you might not have had an encyclopedia in your house before the internet, but there's a good chance you at least had access to a dictionary. Instead of passing around some maybe-fact for 20 plus years, with a silly disclaimer, just look the damn thing up already and take responsibility for preventing the spread of misinformation. "I think I was told that woman means womb-man!" No, it damn well doesn't, and I am not the bad guy here for telling you. I'm keeping you from embarrassing yourself for the next 20 years.
