You're correct to state that Merriam-Webster is a dictionary. That article, however, is not simple descriptivism. It is a response to a question of whether or not there is a correct form. Through the use of context and examples, it proves there is. The concluding part is just hand-waving.

Did you even read the page? It's not a dictionary entry, it's an explanatory article regarding a question of grammar.

That article actually presents a lot of evidence and concludes that "could care less," is not, in fact, correct but instead surrenders its position in favour of "lol, what're ya gonna do?"

The scene where the brunette Marie turns her petticoat into a babydoll dress may be one of the most '60s things I've ever seen.

I don't know why, exactly but the segment with the two very attractive girls going at each other with scissors appeals greatly. Is that the power of metaphor?

I *do* feel empathy for the terrible facts that brought her to that point but, at the same time, those children are dead.

That's fine and I agree with you on that but what about all the other implications of the post I was responding to? Do you think anyone who feels slightly differently about this case wants to make mute slaves of women? That anyone with different feelings about it are agents of right-wing oppression?

There's a difference between feeling empathy for someone's terrible circumstances and excusing murder. To extrapolate that anyone upset by an act of violence - by a woman *towards her own children* - is advocating a world equivalent to Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale is an act of gross hyperbole.

Am I to assume that the other deplorables putting their hat in the Clacton ring detest Nige as much as me? They're deliberately splitting the non-Binface vote?

Are they Democrat voters or not? Is it now the purpose of primaries to indulge in sour grapes if "your guy" failed to win and cede more power to felons? Is withholding your vote like a toddler holding their breath until they pass out appropriate behaviour?

Meaningless metric, really. I rarely like posts because I think, as a practice, it's representative of the worst, dopamine-fuelled aspects of this kind of platform. You really have to earn it. Post because you want to say something, don't post if all you give a shit about is flaunting your score.
