@gurupangujiThe luxury of saying no…<blockquote>The real threat to creativity isn’t a language model. It’s a workplace that rewards speed over depth, scale over care, automation over meaning. If we’re going to talk about what robs people of agency, let’s start there. Let’s talk about the economic structures that pressure people into using tools badly, or in ways that betray their values. Let’s talk about the lack of time, support, mentorship, and trust. Not the fact that someone ran a prompt through a chatbot to get unstuck. Where is the empathy? Where is your support for people who are being tossed into the pit of AI and instructed to find a way to make it work?

Jonathan EmmesediI wish people would not use "despise" as if its meaning were identical with that of "hate". To despise means not only to have a strong dislike, but also to have contempt for someone or something.- I not only hate MAGA supporters, I despise them too. - I hate this cold spell we're having.To my ear, "I despise this cold spell we're having" sounds wrong; how can one feel disdain for the weather?<a href="https://c.im/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Language</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#English</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Usage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Usage</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hate</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Despise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Despise</a>

EditorMark"Cyclic" and "cyclical" are both adjectives meaning moving or occuring in a cycle. "Cyclical" is more common, though "cyclic" was more often seen in the previous century. Dictionaries are likely to define "cyclical" as "cyclic." Usage guides seem to have never bothered weighing in on this one.

Sentence firstThe Strunk cost fallacyMyths have serious sticking power. This is true not just of the myths of antiquity but also of more modern and niche types, like the <a href="https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2017/10/03/a-to-z-of-english-usage-myths/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">myths of English usage</a>. It seems that nothing will ever stop people peeving pointlessly about <a href="https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2012/07/11/how-awkwardly-to-avoid-split-infinitives/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">split infinitives</a>, <a href="https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2023/02/27/dont-never-tell-nobody-not-to-use-no-double-negatives/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">double negatives</a>, <a href="https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2015/10/27/fear-and-loathing-of-the-passive-voice/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">passive voice</a>, <a href="https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/singular-they-you-and-a-senseless-way-of-speaking/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">singular they</a>, &c.One thing that makes usage myths sticky, and spready, is that when we’ve gone to the trouble of learning something, we’re often reluctant to unlearn it, even in the face of contradictory truth – especially when that knowledge gives us a pleasurable feeling of authority or expertise. Renouncing it means accepting that we’ve wasted our time, so instead we double down.<a href="https://stancarey.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/strunk-white-the-elements-of-style.jpg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a>This makes it a form of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunk_cost#Fallacy_effect" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">sunk cost fallacy</a> or sunk cost effect. The term is from economics but has spread to more general use. I’m about to spread it further, with a goofy twist: Doubling down on a bogus rule of language use because you’ve invested time or cognitive effort into learning it is hereby known as the Strunk cost fallacy (or Strunk cost effect).Regrettably, there is no way to include E. B. White in the coinage without spoiling the pun, but both he and William Strunk Jr. bear some responsibility for promulgating a range of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20211030010349/https:/lel.ed.ac.uk/~gpullum/LandOfTheFree.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">egregious misunderstandings</a> about English grammar, usage, and ‘correctness’.The dogmatic tone in those authors’ influential Elements of Style also fuels, among some of its devotees, intolerance of non-standardized dialects and informal varieties of English, because readers gain (or strengthen) the impression that in language use there can be only one right way. This is another fallacy, an insidious and socially toxic one.If you find evidence that you have a mistaken belief about language use – it happens to us all – then my advice is to heed that evidence. Instead of allowing your defences to reject the possibility that you’ve wasted your time learning and maybe promoting a falsity, embrace the opportunity to revise your beliefs. Don’t fall for the Strunk cost fallacy.In closing, here’s a related piece of snark:<blockquote>Accidentally typed “Strunk and Why” and this sums up my feelings better than any tired rant I might muster— Stan Carey (<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:5umbpor2jx3i4a7g5gureesq?ref_src=embed" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@stancarey.bsky.social</a>) <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:5umbpor2jx3i4a7g5gureesq/post/3l6nom3awzw2c?ref_src=embed" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Oct 16, 2024 at 20:33</a></blockquote>(I tried embedding an equivalent <a href="https://mastodon.ie/deck/@stancarey/113318772254514245" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Mastodon post</a>, but it didn’t work the way Bluesky’s did.
