ok brothaI feel you and agree with your points.
But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP USING THESE FAKE BREAKDOWNS OF WORDS. THAT IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING **** OF ALL TIME.
I graduated with a degree in English, and NONE of these words that people try to break down are made up of english words put together like people keep trying to make it. It's all from other languages, mainly Greek and Latin.
It just makes me so angry because a person who does that is basically telling me that they heard someone tell them something and decided it was true without doing ANY research.
LIke, there are real meanings and breakdowns to these words that you could use. For example:
entertain (v.)
late 15c., "to keep up, maintain, to keep (someone) in a certain frame of mind," from Middle French entretenir (12c.), from Old French entretenir "hold together, stick together, support," from entre- "among" (from Latin inter; see inter-) + tenir "to hold" (from Latin tenere; see tenet).
The TRUE meaning actually helps your point and makes clear what you're saying.
Just please stop. I had to stop being a full on 5 Percenter because I couldn't take that kind of willful ignorance anymore, and any time I tried to point it out I was just hit with a barrage of greasy psuedo-intellectual self-righteousness.
What's so funny, bruh?
