Things that need to disappear:
Hashtags on Facebook
"______ shaming"
The unregulated, freewheeling creation of what I call "reverse gerunds!" I'm sure there's a technical term for it somewhere. Also known as "verbing," which is itself an unauthorized reverse gerund...
Terms like "mansplaining and manspreading."
What are we, America, twelve? All of us?
I propose we are not, but to the rest of the world we sure appear to be. If I could find a better country to migrate to, I would. The whole world is a mess, so I suppose I should continue to feather my nest where my eggs have hatched, but we're a far cry from the greatest country in world. More like the "least bad."
And it's possible there's a better one. I haven't really done my research.
