So? He’s the CEO of a company that already gets no money from me.

Online forums pick the weirdest hills to die on sometimes. You’ve probably used hundreds of products today alone made by companies whose CEOs are worse dickwads than Eich. But this gave you a chance to feel superior online so you had to take it lmao

The paradox of the internet is that people want everything:

• in one place
• free of charge
• anonymous

but don’t want everything:

• owned by one company
• supported by ads
• full of toxic assholes

Serious question, isn’t this going to force them to release their trademark on the word “tweet”?

It depends on context, and I think most people realize this intuitively. If you put pumpkin in somebody’s berry smoothie they’re going to be pissed no matter what the scientific community says lol. It’s the kind of thing that only matters for trivia.

And honestly science appropriated the term from common parlance, not the other way around. So a layperson could just as easily walk into a botany lab and say “fun fact, these actually are berries” and be completely correct.
