[Ads-l] RES: Wokeness and the English language

[David Daniel]

Well, what scared me about the article is that it described what I have
observed. I saw no claims that were beyond the reality I have observed. I
just had not read anything that gathered them all together. If he missed
some linguistic history, I don't think that affects the value of his
comments about present events. Cancel-culture linguistic mania is way over
the top, and social media is allowing the tail to wag the dog. "One guy with
a twitter account..."
