Most of us remember our parents telling us to take down the Merriam-Webster dictionary from the shelf when we wanted to know what a word meant. That sturdy hardback was the authoritative source on word usage.
The Merriam-Webster company wants to maintain that status in the digital age, but it’s eaten its own seed corn. Just like Anheuser Busch lost billions in market value when Bud Light teamed up with drag queen (oh, we’re sorry, “trans woman”) Dylan Mulvaney, a nellie gay man pretending to be a girl, Merriam-Webster has torched the very thing that made it credible: truth.
They’re still branding themselves as authoritative:
Let’s see how they define “female”:
Got it. Being female is only usually about being the female sex (do you see the circular definition problem?). Also, it can just mean having a “gender identity” that’s “opposite” to male. Translation: “Females are males who say they’re girls.”
Right. With that sorted, let’s see what Merriam Webster has been up to on social media lately.
On Twitter/X, the dictionary asked a question inside its wheelhouse:
OK. But then something strange happened.
That means MW locked down the post so that no one could reply to the question it was asking.
Then something even stranger happened.
Gee-what gives?
That’s right. This is the world you live in in year 2024. The “authoritative” dictionary shut down all discussion and retracted its question when sane, normal people told it that the word “woman” means what it means.
Why? If you’re not familiar with the full extent of the woke left derangement, this is now new normal. Companies of all kinds have been infiltrated by mostly young female leftists who see themselves first as activists. They will destroy companies, destroy reputations, and destroy the meaning of words simply to signal to the leftist world how very good and kind and inclusive they are.
And much mirth was had on this Twitter thread!
This one probably triggered whatever intern named KaiteLynne staffs the MW Twitter account.
Looks like Merriam Webster got BIG MAD at some users.
Got a new definition for an old word you’d like to submit to the dictionary? Tell us in the comments!
