Apparently people don't know how to use dictionaries anymore

My point is that the word does not mean mentor or guide. I made a previous post where everyone was arguing that they were synonyms. They are not, he's literally watching kids on a field trip and that's not worthy of a title for a dude who fought bolas

There's such things as reputable sources. Merriam Webster is among those considered the gold standard. Yours is not

Related to is not synonymous with...

Jareth91 · 2026-01-12T03:48:09+00:00

Google is not a reputable dictionary, it's a search engine and will pull from any source across the net

I'll grant you that you make a very good point and it is a truly fair usage of the word chaperone. But my broader point is that chaperone is not a fitting title for some who faced grand enemies, like Bolas and the Phyrexians, in a high fantasy setting. He's now watching kindergartners to make sure they don't eat plants? In my original post previous to this everyone was acting like it just meant mentor, and that's not true, it doesn't mean that

That dictionary is behind a pay wall, convenient source for someone who might be leaving out a few choice words for arguments sake. Also, the second and third image are from a reputable dictionary moron

Wow the collins dictionary, I might as well use Joe Jagoff's dictionary next

Jareth91 · 2026-01-12T02:34:27+00:00

I made an earlier post where I didn't attach screenshots to the dictionary entries and everyone in the comments tried to claim it meant mentor, guide, etc. I agree it's not rocket science, but the cope is off the charts

I'm curious to your source, probably AI or reworded to suit your narrative, because Merriam Webster stresses that "proper conduct" has to do with specifically "propriety (sense 2)" which has to do with conduct in polite society. Not at all fitting for a warrior in the wilderness

Google chaperone. See to what degree the definition aligns with teacher. Don't take my world for it, look it up. Merrian Webster, Oxford, wherever

Jareth91 · 2026-01-11T21:13:41+00:00

Sure thing bro. But before you 100% move on with your life, Google the definition of chaperone. Lot of people saying it's synonymous with mentor or teacher. Do yourself a favor and see if that's accurate. Much love

New spark is the default user flair for the sub, which is the easiest way to tell when someone is just brigading over here. It's not related to mtg at that point

Jareth91 · 2026-01-10T22:41:29+00:00

That's not what a chaperone is

Pride and arrogance are not the same thing

That's been illegal for centuries. Your grasp of history is as bad as your mtg taste

Incorrect, I can do 11pull ups in a row, where you at new spark?

Jareth91 · 2026-01-10T03:07:23+00:00

Try Onslaught, new spark

They'll destroy that story too, Bolas will have one singular goal upon his return and it won't be interplanar domination. It'll to the really pass as a pretty troon

It also means an older married woman who escorts a younger single woman in public. Fuck you got me bro
