This is ridiculous.

So, “ridiculous” is millennial speak for “good”? The destruction of the language is terrible.
“You are shit” is an insult, but “You are the shit” is a compliment?
How can “Dumb ass” and “Smart ass” both be insults?
Faruk Korkmaz is 50 years old (born 1969), so she’s a Gen-X. Millennials (Gen-Y) were born roughly between 1981 to mid-90s or early-00s, with 1996 being a commonly accepted end-date.
“Destruction of language” as you call it was well underway long before millennials came onto the scene. I bet the Brits have some choice words for American butchering of proper English.
As for dumb-ass and smart-ass? Both insults hurled from the average joe to mock those they think aren’t as smart as they are, and to demean those who are are wittier and smarter than them.
OK, so that was the wrong Faruk Korkmaz. The iPhonedo editor is younger than that. The rest of the post stands.
A responsible attitude! How refreshing.
Yes you are spot on with that assessment. I think the Victorians were obsessed with what they saw as damage to the English language even damming certain usages that were common to Shakespeare. It’s a tough one I get angry at both misuse as I see it and anal complaints about it, I guess we all have our own subjective evaluation.
Aw, gampaw bill be mad…
Language evolves, buddy.
Insult someone because they are old and intelligent, unlike you? Grow up!
Language evolves and can devolve too, youngster.
Sounds like you are a wise guy instead of a wise man.
Bill; excellent.
I hate when links are posted, just to find out you have to be logged in to see them. For those of us that do not us social media, this is lame. But whatever, great pic I guess.
The argument will be that any high-end flagship smartphone can do what the iPhone 11 can do as long as you know how to plug in the right numbers when editing. At least one thing that’s good is most people won’t have to lug along a DSLR camera everywhere they go providing they even own one. Thank heavens most consumers aren’t that critical about the photos they take.
Either words have meaning – or they don’t. Does hideous mean handsome? You are not The Princess of Norway even if you say you are. No one is relatively dead either.
You may wish to familiarize yourself with the proper use of the en dash.
Or you can just eff right off and stop grammar nazziing everyone
Sure, as soon as the word police retreat.
I’ve seen some other videos from this guy and he’s actually pretty funny. His style can be sort of off-putting if you’re not into his brand of humor but the content is generally interesting. I think he just plays up the Russky thing a bit
Sorry – I’m not sure how I put my comment in this thread. It was supposed to be a general response to the story. Carry on…
Wrong! People who have died but have been brought back to life were relatively dead, a bit like your brain.
Still wrong. That’s still a misuse of the phrase. In your example they were dead and then they weren’t dead; different states. Nothing relative about it. But your comment was relatively lame.
And why is it that crop dusting puts the dust on but furniture dusting takes the dust off?
If I close my eyes I hear Gru talking about the new iPhone.
I came here to learn more about iPhone 11. Get a dagnabbed language lesson.
