Speaking of linguistics, so-called journalists trend toward referring to one of these addled people in a plural tense is maddening. I can't count how many times I reread an article trying to find the "other person I missed" reading it the first time - to eventually realize I'd fallen for it again.
It makes me sympathize with Charlie Brown trying to kick that football.

If Karl Marx were using the woke journalistic style of today, he would write, “from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.”
