Because of the recent trend of omitting "does" from "why does everyone," I am constantly trying to figure out what the photo hopes to explain, but then I realize it's because someone is abusing English again.
Oh no, the immutable English language.

It's a Germanic offshoot crammed into a Latin-shaped hole, crammed with loanwords, and very flexible with things like word order or structure. It takes easily to the verbing of words because it is a contextual language, and it's full of slang from a thousand subcultures. English is not sacred, it cannot be "abused" because it has always caved to the demands of those who use it. And language purity has long been championed by people pretending not to be racist.
