Going through your recent comment history, you’re pathetic. Everyone is calling you out for being batshit insane lmao. I know “responsibilities” and “a job” are both foreign concepts to you, and I’m sure you think everyone can spend their time on Lemmy 24/7 just like you, but jesus christ… I consider myself an avid poster but you somehow have over 3x the comments as me. So yes, I didn’t have the time to watch the video you allegedly made (and I emphasize the allegedly).
There is literally nothing to suggest that you are any sort of expert or even trustworthy person when it comes to language, let alone whether “extravert” is “incorrect”. Based on your comments about it, the evidence all points in the opposite – you’re an expert of nothing except saying you’re totally “knowledgable”. Why do you think you’re better at language than the people who make dictionaries for christ’s sake?! Or the large amount of researchers who use the term “extrovert” in a formal setting, most of whom are experts in either 2nd language acquisition, linguistics/psycholinguistics, or psychology? How do you presume that they’re the incorrect ones for using what you deem to be the “wrong” spelling (out of two equally valid spellings), when you can’t even compare to their level of expertise? Rather than actually making these papers on psychology and linguistics, you’re LARPing as a high school English teacher online and saying stupid shit about language. I want to ask you what qualifications you have, if any at all? Do you even have any college education on linguistics? Can you even do so little as to read and write basic IPA transcriptions?
Why are you deleting half of the comments you’ve recently posted, after people respond to them with sources and actual arguments? There have been multiple in this thread. You’re obviously not very confident in them, they make you look absolutely embarassing. You do realize that on most front-ends, it doesn’t delete the entire thread below the deleted comment anymore, right? And the stupid responses are still available in the peoples’ inboxes.
What’s more likely, that almost every professional on language is wrong, or that you’re wrong? Are all the most credible dictionaries wrong?
The term prescriptivism refers to the ideology and practices in which the correct and incorrect uses of a language or specific linguistic items are laid down by explicit rules that are externally imposed on the users of that language. This ideology and its practices are now usually ascribed to nonlinguists or nonacademic linguists, whereas modern academic linguists, following Saussurean tenets, restrict themselves to the study and description of the structure of language and its natural use.

Answer it. Do you think a majority of linguistics professors and people with linguistics PhDs are wrong, and you’re somehow right?
