Schon traurig, dass man in manchen Apotheken extra sagen muss „bitte was evidenzbasiertes“, weil einem sonst überteuerter Zucker als vermeintliche „Alternative“ gegen ernste Beschwerden vorgeschlagen wird. Dieser Quatsch muss endlich aufhören. 🙄

Screenshot of linguistic statistics for articles from the category news. These are sourced externally. there is no change in any features, except linguistic diversity, which is all over the place, most likely due to the current themes discussed at the time.

Had another round of fun with a right wing, Putin-friendly Austrian "newspaper". Some folks suspect them to use ChatGPT & Co. to write articles now.
Since I was busy doing other shit, I delegated the "analysis" to ChatGPT. And you'll never guess what "we" found out :D 🧵
In eigener Sache: Ich habe mein Blog mit 1,5 Millionen gelesener Beiträge früher bei WordPress gehostet. Das hat Probleme mit sich gebracht - ich hoste aus diversen Gründen nun selbst.
WordPress hat das Blog nach Kündigung selbst weitergeführt (!) und Werbung geschaltet. Habe das nun unterbunden.

Die unfassbare Unehrlichkeit ist das Schlimmste.
Es ist in Wahrheit extrem einfach, respektvoll mit jemandem ganz anderer Meinung zu sein, wenn man das Gefühl hat: Die Person hält für wahr, was sie sagt. Es ist wuterregend, wenn man weiß: Die Person stellt sich dumm/lügt mich an/wüsste es besser.

Angst um die Sprache ist eine gesellschaftliche Obsession. Paranoia in Bezug auf Anglizismen oder "Gendersprache" führt zu ständigen Kontroversen.
Diese Angst kann aber auch die Grammatik betreffen, wie Philip Kraut (@herbilis.bsky.social) in seinem Text zeigt.
