    The word theory has become (or at best is becoming) a clusterfuck of whatever, much like the word literally.

    And we don't even have (normal/easy/exact) replacements for those words.
    Those words were already the scientific terms for nerds. But normies normied them into normedom, literally theorised into a fuck.

    (Also unfortunately Im a normie, but that doesn't mean I can't bitch about it)

    I suggest we use new words.

    Hypothesis - the great pondering
    Theory - mystical workings of the orb

      I support this. If you're going to fluff a paper with a load of bullshit words and clunky phrasing, it should at least be fun.

      As an addendum, I would like to abolish the use of the word "herein."

      To me, addicting feels like it should be a verb, like cigarette advertising is addicting youth, whereas addictive is an adjective
