The messyness must go tbh.We can’t have this bastardization we live with now😊🤪
Oh my… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_word
Edit: Omg Decathlon. A hybrid word in the Olympics…an event with Greek roots. #Sad
Its just a silly notion that you either choose a Greek root or a Latin root for a word. No mixing, just "wrong"😊
It bugs me less than directly translating English expression into Norwegian (my native toung). Some of them just sounds weird
Abolishing the word “automobile” since it mixes Greek and latin.
Hypothesis < Theory < Law/Axiom
I am all for developing languages so that you get new words. And am I really dying on this hill. Hell no😊
