    I already told you for the last time, that I specifically said empiricism doesn’t apply to language. I brought it up to counter your comparison to flat earthers.

    And now I’m repeating myself, because you keep saying the same stupid shit over and over again. You’re clearly being disingenuous, because there’s no way a real person could be that dense.

      Yeah. That’s like saying left doesn’t apply to baking. It has no meaning because it doesn’t mean what you thought it did because you’re just pretending to be an intellectual.

      You can lie to yourself that you definitely knew what “prescriptive” and “descriptive” meant, even though anyone who does can see you don’t. It also explains why you think “empiricism doesn’t apply to language”. Ofc it does. You can study language empirically. You’d only say you can’t if you didn’t understand the word. Empirical findings of language use would fall under descriptive or prescriptive based on the findings. You just don’t seem to understand the meaning of the words. :DD

      “You’re being disingenuous for mocking me for being pretentious”

      Sure I am buddy, sure I am. Because people have exactly what reason to believe that you aren’t the dummy you demonstrate yourself to be?
