- Deborah Ann Woll gave Jon Bernthal an engaging introduction to Dungeons & Dragons on his podcast, explaining character creation and gameplay in a fun and accessible way.
- Woll’s approach focuses on storytelling and immersing players in the world rather than overwhelming them with character sheets and rules, making D&D more appealing to newcomers.
- The video highlights the universal appeal of D&D, where both Hollywood stars and regular players can connect and enjoy the game together.
That’s some idiot morphology right there. Fuckin’ literacy rates giving out Participation trophies, FFS. What could go wrong?
FYI, kiddos†: Dictionaries are historical records, not current listings of usage standards (much less logic). If you are fine with sounding/presenting like an idiot, you’re week within your rights to do so. That wholly personal choice will not have much effect on pluralization of an exceedingly simple word in English — unless modern civilization crumbles and you & your kin are left to repopulate it, of course. 😶
† you cited Wikipedia, ergo.
/r/iamverysmart is back on reddit, feel free to head back any time.
edit: “you’re week within your rights…”? when chastising someone on word choice, might be worth your time to check your comment before posting
Being able to use the correct it’s/its cancels that out, as does they’re/their/there, et al. Thanks, though. 😘
This is just so wrong. English dictionaries are descriptive: they describe how the language is being used.
In 1961 people like you threw a fit that “ain’t” was added to Webster’s, despite its first known use over 200 years earlier.
English has no ultimate arbiter of “proper” use; it changes as people use it and dictionaries are a reference for how it is being used, not how it ought to be used.
Language is a living, changing thing. It doesn’t matter how many grammar nazis oppose the changes, if enough people start using a word or phrase in a different way, that becomes the “right” way to use the word/phrase. “Nice” used to mean foolish, “meat” once meant food in general, and in my lifetime “gay” went from “happy” to “homosexual”.
If you can’t accept that language changes, you’re gonna have a bad time.
