Give these guys another ten years and no one will understand anything they say because they will have invented their own language that only they understand.
They already do this. There’s videos of these idiots threatening to “sue your bond” whatever the hell that means. They also take normal words and reinterpret them to mean something completely different than intended. There was an idiot in court being asked if he wanted to be represented by the public defender. He acted confused and asserted he was fully capable of presenting himself to the court, and there would be no need to RE-present himself again. They be crazy.
Its the bonds that the govt if hiding from their citizens. Which just sounds like something a parent told their child to explain a savings bond they bought when they were born. Then, it got misinterpreted and mixed with legal jargon and spread as true truth. Language learning is hard sometimes
I think maybe /u/BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world would be the best person round these parts to write a sovcit to sane person dictionary, as much as it’s even possible (because I’m fairly sure a lot of things can’t even be translated).
Like what the hell is “Without prejudice” supposed to mean here? I know what either of the words alone mean, but I have no idea what THEY mean by prejudice. Other than that, this one seems to be one of the more understandable posts as far as use of language is concerned.
This would be a great plot point to some novel or movie that someone could write.
Some post apocalyptic society of people who are trying to survive in a new world run into a community of people that speak this strange foreign language. The lost survivors can understand individual words but the meanings or associations to all those words have been lost and now mean new things that can no longer be understood.
