Why do we have to come up with a new word for everything that already has definitions? One of the reasons Latin is said to be a dead language is because there is no increase in vocabulary and the language doesn't evolve or create new vocabulary.

Well, I think English is the other swing of the pendulum by inventing and creating not new words but additional Thesaurus entries for existing words and phrases. From Quiet Quitting to Quiet Hiring.

What a load of utter rubbish!

I don’t think it is so much the English language as it is the Internet. Everybody is now connected to every other person on Planet Earth, so things get amplified and accelerated beyond belief. Idiotic trends spawn and die and are immediately replaced by other idiotic trends.

TikTok must be the ultimate for hot trends that flash and die in a day or two. It seems that corporate HR and Gen Z authors are operating at TikTok speed and adopting pure garbage that will be on the trash heap next week.

The fastest changing industry is primary and secondary education. I’ve never seen an industry adopt so many failed fads so quickly and throw them out when they don’t produce results, only to be replaced by the next empty, useless fad.
