Evolution of the English Language
 

The English language is constantly evolving. Words like "bequeath" are antiquated and seldom used now. Words like "sick" and "whack" now mean cool. "Cool" is almost never used in it's original context.

...But the newest evolution of words really pisses me off. We used to call this BS in Baltimore and Ferguson "Riots" and "Rioters". Now we call them "demonstrations" and "protesters". We used to call it "violence", "looting", and "thievery". Now we call it "unlawful demonstration" and "expressions of anger and frustration".

We used to identify the "unlawful demonstrators" and throw their a$$es in jail. Now the ACLU comes to their defense, saying they are lacking in opportunity and victims of a poor education system.

Police brutality certainly exists, and most certainly more prevalent in certain minority communities. That is an issue. Nevertheless, in our society's efforts to be politically correct, we have almost decriminalized these ridiculous acts of violence and opportunism

Rant over.

Methinks thou doth complaineth to excess.

I think you'd be surprised how much police brutality and sweeping under the rug goes on in Ventura County.

Craig,

I hate it when you are right ;-) . Again.

So PC we cannot even call a (edited not by Z-MAN) a (edited not by Z-MAN). A shovel by any other name is still a (edited not by Z-MAN).

Guess I need to get a life....

With respect, I don't think the illustrations cited by the OP reflect the evolution of the language. I think they reflect political correctness run amok.

There's an entirely other English language used on tv and by politicians.

Here are some terms you'll hear every single day on tv and from politicians, but would never use or hear in real life:

Let me be clear.
Were mistakes made?
Could it have been done better?
community leaders
Have no voice
misled
invest in our communities
downtrodden
disenfranchised

The PC nazis working their insidious craft.

Cheers
