    as much as i believe languages are living tools, cannot be constrained by rules, and will evolve no matter how much old timers complain

    if you tell me about a “venomous mushroom” I’ll freak out at the possibility of such a being existing faster than you can explain how you don’t really see a reason for the distinction between venomous and poisonous and that other languages don’t even have it
