The Merriam-Webster dictionary added a new definition of the word “preference” after Democrats criticized Judge Amy Coney Barrett for using the term “sexual preference” during her confirmation hearing.
The dictionary now says that using the word “preference” in the context of “sexual preference” might be considered “offensive.” According to media critic Steve Krakauer, who is also the executive producer of Megyn Kelly’s podcast, the change was made Wednesday.

Whatever.
She can apologize for being white during questioning for all I care.
She’s way too smart to step into any traps.
She will be a SCOTUS Justice for 25 years or more.
And it’s killing dems.
There will be no court packing (at least for the next 4 years) because Trump is going to win.
And we’re gonna keep the senate also.
Silly polls and panicking aside.
Agreed.

F*CK Merriam-Webster. If they don’t know what that means, they can look it up.
I’ll stand by your first sentence.
That they changed it proves they know what it means.
Come on maaannnnn. Or whatever you choose to be today entity.
Unbelievable. It’s bad enough when the MSM stealth-edits their drivel (as when the NYT stealth-edited background material on their stupid “1619 Project”) but here we have Webster’s Dictionary actually changing the meaning of a word in order to make a political kangaroo court proceeding look legitimate.
Things are now happening in real time. twitter and facebook are suppressing truth that hurts democrats. To me, this is no accident. Webster didn’t just happen to make that change at the exact time that Barrett was speaking. There is a direct link from the democrat party to the online thought control websites. It is active in real time, and the social media obeys the orders from the democrat party.
To do this, they must have a 24/7 job function dedicated to the carrying out of the orders.
George Orwell could never have imagined that thought control would get this bad.
Who funds the social media? Who makes sure they make a huge profit, and in return demand compliance?

I guess no one cares when WE are offended.

The Left can destroy statues and purge the internet.
Burn Merriam-Webster dictionaries, especially the copies in school and other libraries.
We can change the language same as they can.
Dictionaries are political hacks . . . who knew?
I’m offended that they are offended. . . .

It’s always disturbing when people on the right adopt the language of people on the left.
Funny. I went to an all boys high school for a couple years. There was a dictionary of American slang in the library. The page with F words was well worn.
