Fair enough. I guess the meaning has drifted. There’s no arguing with the descriptive nature of language. Lexicons are pretty much just language censuses. That’s important because it’s how language works. At least the older meaning of “verbal” seems to be preserved in legal and clinical environments. I feel like it has a value.

For example, if someone is making sounds with their mouth that are not words, it’s oral but not verbal (under the older usage).

Sign language or text could be considered verbal but not oral.

There’s value in having a word that encompasses both written and spoken words.

*orally.

Text is still verbal.

I can’t find the following image from a few reverse image searches:

It reinforces his narcissistic delusions?

You just made a handful of aspiring influencers very angry.

The Osama Hitler-Stalin Restaurant liked this post

Man, if I had a nickel for every time…

Sprite demi-glace for the win.

Wax tablets were the analog tablets before that.

“Okay, doc, you’re never gonna believe this, but…”

That’s got to be the worst part of zookeeping: moving. The lease is up and the landlord is hiking rent another 10%. So you find another zoo in a more affordable part of town. It seems like a good idea until you have to move all those lions. Sure, you could hire lion movers, but they charge an arm and a leg.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but if that’s AI, we’re fucking cooked. I watched it zoomed in pretty far, over a dozen times. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was video editing, though.

I will not be fooled by corgi propaganda. If there had been a treat at the bottom, there would have been a sonic boom, followed by a shockwave of fur. That is a fully operational hypertube.

That is the last thing a corgi needs. This is a war crime in the making. Their limited top speed was the only factor keeping a lid on things.

What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?

Stop Right There, Criminal Scum!

Did you see the match last night?

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah

God! Did we?

Wow! What a match!

Yeah.

All of the players running up the pitch… Players running. …and running down it again. Such athleticism!

What was Rooney thinking of, though?

Oh! Who knows?

That’s Rooney!

He is a foolish boy.

Yeah, but that referee… I’m sorry, the referee is just an idiot.

Yes. He was certainly the villain of the piece.
