I have to know: are these words made-up or is the influence of vapid youtube whores ruinin--uh, I mean "evolving English the way linguists think is cool and proper"?
Glomp, ratioed, and stans
Ic hæfde to witan: sind þas word gemæne oððe is þæs unþeawfulle YouTube wifru forþfæreð, ic mean "eorðan Englisc swylce þa leornere witaþ is fægere and riht"?
It's not made up. I sadly understand that sentence.
We can tell see you fail to understand the linguists take on prescriptivism vs descriptivism because your strawman quote uses the word "proper."
