Supreme Court won’t hear InfoWars host’s First Amendment challenge to Jan. 6 conviction
Just a moment...
Can we please use simple language, I don't know what the fuck exhort means, I mean I do now (strongly encourage or urge (someone) to do something) but I didn't. Why are you trying to make me learn!?!
Edit: TIL everyone on lemmy are fucking English majors.
The typical news publication is written at a sixth grade reading level. Do with this information what you will.
My partner is English as second language and I never dumb down anything I say to her. She asks me the words she doesn't know and I explain them as best I can or we look them up on my phone when I'm not certain I can articulate the meaning accurately enough to provide a good example. I think reducing the vocab that I use with her vs english-native friends and family would be insulting to her. Same as how I wouldn't dumb it down speaking to a 10yo (it's different for toddlers and those not much older, obviously).
I'm educated well enough, I was mostly being sarcastic but the fact is that no one uses that word. I figured what it meant based on context but still had to go look it up and was annoyed. Sometimes it seems like a writer feels like being vague and beats you over the head with a thesaurus.
God damn journalists and their word conspiracy! They're clearly being propped up by the powerful dictionary lobby and forcing readers through to their products. Fuck you Big Dictionary!
Big Pharma is short for Big Pharmaceutical, is Big Dict short for Big Dictionary?
