Ah yes, the first resort of the prescriptivist: baldly assert that you are correct with absolutely no reasoning behind it.
It’s pretty clear that you don’t understand linguistics or you wouldn’t have declared so confidently that something said on purpose and clearly understood by you to be “not a word”.
Like you literally said that you don’t understand my argument and then declared me wrong anyway. I could explain further but it doesn’t seem like you want to understand.
If you do want to actually learn something here, let me know and I am actually quite happy to help.
Like you literally said that you don’t understand my argument
Yes, that is what I just said. You had an opportunity just now to explain it, instead you typed up four sentences that achieved nothing other than to (I assume) make you feel like you’d “won” the argument.
What don’t you understand? I gave you the terms to look up to educate yourself if you actually cared, but instead of showing interest or the humility to ask, you literally just declared that you were right again without any reasoning and while saying you were ignorant.
So shall I take this as you not being interested in the information?

Fascinating how you suddenly backtrack on this when actually being asked to explain further lol
