yOu eVEr hEaR aBouT aPprOPriAtIOn? You're demonstrating exactly why this is a dumbshit survey. It could just as easily mean that it is being effectively appropriated and had its meaning changed you DENSE motherfucker. It doesn't actually tell us anything if we just assume the word itself is what was stigmatized.
For fuck's sake, baby's first peer review.
I don’t understand why you hate this survey. Attitudes about language are incredibly interesting. The fact that most Americans like the ACA but hate Obamacare is useful information.
You don't even know what you're getting from it. Kneejerk interpretation. lol
