I don’t agree that social media is making us depressed/changing our brains/ruining society etc. but I do know it’s responsible for making it mandatory to say “hack” instead of “tip” and I resent that.

Hot for high school English teacher types erroneously believe that English language skills are all about avoiding the passive voice. True Linguists, however, can tell you it’s more about knowing you can call a Southern dumpling “hush puppy” but not “Silence, baby dog!”.

Grammar grouches seem to think speaking English is all about not splitting infinitives but ask any True Linguist - it’s knowing the chorus of a pop song can be “Wake up, little Suzie” but not “Arise, diminutive Susan”.

You can tell from a musician’s between song banter how their bedside manner would be if they were, say, a surgeon or a massage therapist.
Grammar pedants love to haughtily tut tut over made up rules about not splitting infinites etc. but True Linguistics is the stuff of this thread 😍
There are certain verbs in English which are intransitive except for when the object is derived from the verb itself ("cognate objects") For example, "sleep" 🙂 I slept the sleep of the just 🤯 I slept a nap
