#Prescriptivist

I really hate it that "ideation" has seemingly become a real word. I'm not a #prescriptivist, but I think I try to avoid coining words that sound stupid.

I am a total #descriptivist with regard to English most of the time, but a #prescriptivist when it involves making language more or less clear with changes. And I tell you, of all the changes that I see coming, losing the #subjunctive mood is really a bummer.

This article on the #Duolingo website is about changes #English might see over the next hundred years or so.
