The reframing of "politics" to whatever people think it means. My cliffnotes of "politics" is "engaging with social relations through the lens of power", not "stuff people in parliament do" or "minority emancipation " or whatever other extremely reductive definition people use.
I keep class signifiers out of conversation, but things like "eckspecially" or "nucular" annoy me. But that's my dad's elitist elocution coming through.
X-of instead of X-have.
"Well actually ", "Consider" and other codewords that suggest I am about to receive a take of breathtaking innanity and self-importance
That's because people aren't taught couldn't've, shouldn't've, and wouldn't've, which is what they're trying to spell.

The problem with society these days is there's too much politics!
Can't believe they made the presidential election political
