#13: What’s in a Word?
This person’s tweet exploded on Twitter, gaining over 33,000 likes! We can see why it blew up because they make a humorous point about language in general. They’re poking fun at people who say that certain words are “made up” and can’t be used because they’re not “real.” Breaking news: all words are made up! Think about it!
Humans created language to communicate, so technically every word we use in any language is made up. There are no “natural” words found out in the wild! Humans have the incredible ability to create systems of communication, but none of it is naturally found laying out in nature. “X” could, technically, be a real word in English someday, all things considered!
