[Ads-l] Wokeness and the English language

I had respect for Michael Lewis, but not only does he demonstrate ignorance of linguistics and the history of the English language, but he gets basic, easily researched facts wrong.

He is going the route of J.K. Rowling. Sad, really.

Very interesting article and, at least for me, scary.
