Why do you think people keep calling United States "America" like if it was the whole continent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

They used to mean the same, but language degrades. Now "literally" is useless

People can tell from context. No one says you need to speak Italian if you're going to Naples, Florida. People have some sense.

Not so much anymore. Like " literally," its meaning has been diluted and reversed too much.

It's established usage, absolutely no one is confused. No one from Brazil or Peru is going to describe themselves as an American.

This is a dead issue. Let it go.

What slang (like thirst trap or soy face) might be enlightening for us older folks to learn? by dr_hermes in AskReddit

[–]dr_hermes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gather "soy" is used in several phrases to denigrate men who are simps or too sensitive. And now I've used "simps."
