grammar commie

A term used to describe a person who believes in and advocates for an egalitarian approach to language use. They view language primarily as a means of expressing meaning and facilitating communication, rather than as a status symbol or a tool for exclusion. A Grammar Commie stresses the importance of comprehensibility over stringent adherence to traditional grammar rules, and supports the validity of diverse linguistic styles and dialects, thus breaking the barriers of linguistic elitism and fostering inclusivity.

"Even though Jenny could correct every misplaced comma or misspelled word, as a Grammar Commie, she chose instead to focus on understanding the message the writer intended to convey, promoting a more inclusive and egalitarian approach to communication."

clusterfake

Clusterfake refers to a social gathering characterized by the prevalence of superficiality, where individuals engage in inauthentic interactions primarily driven by the pursuit of status and image. In a clusterfake, participants often prioritize projecting a façade of success, popularity, and desirability over genuine connections and meaningful conversations. The atmosphere is marked by insincere compliments, exaggerated displays of interest, and a general lack of authenticity, as participants navigate the social landscape with the sole objective of maintaining or elevating their perceived social standing.

The charity gala turned out to be a clusterfake, with attendees more focused on flaunting their designer outfits and engaging in superficial conversations than genuinely supporting the cause.
