I think they mean that a person is food insecure if they have to consistently worry about where their next meals will come from, even if they do end up eating every meal.
As much as I hate liberals, the more lib thing to do would be to strictly define the hunger stat to something like “missed more than 3 meals in a row in the last month” or some shit to keep the stats down.
I fucking hate what libs have done to the English language. It’s not meant for this kind of bullshit. It was developed by bog people, Hagar the Horrible and flea ridden dirt farmers who’s boss made them speak French. We’re best off when we’re blunt.
“A true ruler is the wielder of names. By names she cuts the world as she pleases, and she cuts herself into greater forms still. She is not shaped by the world, but instead becomes the shaper. There’s work to be done.”
People with power define how we use language, and its fucking awful how they use it to inculcate themselves further into power.
I don’t think it’s a problem that language becomes more precise and technical over time. What is a problem is gating off understanding of precise and technical use of language behind hundreds of thousands of dollars of private education and then looking down on people for not understanding words. Imo it’s a modern day expression of classism - the new version of laughing at poor people because they don’t know the correct fork to use for the second course.
I’m an absolute fucking English language simp, just a giant sloppy word nerd. I am really into JRR Tolkien. I speak in a normal conversation like Matt Christman rants. I am INTERESTED in etymology. Chuds using military sounding jargon ‘tactically ascertaining a potential development’ and libs making therapy language part of their everyday speech is way more painful to me than anyone who is speaking ‘incorrectly’ due to class reasons. Those people are genuinely doing a better job at English cause they’re not using words they think they should be using and instead yknow, conveying thought through language.

I use Passive Voice all the time at work to avoid throwing anyone under the bus. It works on middle management super well from either end

But it’s not becoming more precise and technical, it’s becoming more vague, more meaningless, more flowery and yet uglier all at the same time
