      @chaosprime who has been using it to mean "common error"? Because ... No. It's, like, the opposite of that.

      @chaosprime I can kinda see how you would think it means an error given the biblical usage to find foreigners and kill them, but, no.

      @XaiaX it's a context-inferred usage coming from hearing people talk about the shibboleths of one group or another & only catching the tone

      @XaiaX honestly the usage probably has at least as much currency as the use of "literally" to mean "figuratively"

      @XaiaX but i'm only a descriptivist when i don't identify a usage as arising from stark incomprehension

      @chaosprime I'm a descriptivist. Sometimes I just describe things as being wrong. ;)

      @chaosprime it's somehow different when you know you're breaking THE RULES, though. I am a fan of disregular English.

      @chaosprime I think my problem is just when it seems like people picked a form to sound more impressive, rather than unconsciously.

      @XaiaX yeah, that's annoying, that's what leads me to my strict rules on the use of "grey" vs. "gray" that nobody else can be arsed with

          @chaosprime which are what? My rule is "I spell it grey, unless it's someone's name."

          @XaiaX i reserve grey for explicitly poetic usage and use gray whenever we're talking about a physical color without trying to Set a Mood

          @XaiaX so the Grey Havens are fine, a grey morning is all right if one simply must, but it's a gray dog

          @chaosprime @XaiaX TIL there's a difference. I just assumed one was American the other European. Also I couldn't say which was which

          @mediapathic @chaosprime there's a weird mnemonic for this. Grey in England. Gray in America. I've got a lot of Englishisms from mom.

          @XaiaX @mediapathic probably the England thing is why i associate indiscriminate use of "grey" with class pretension

          @XaiaX @mediapathic which in turn is why i can't get over it every single time a British person says "idear"
