Why use that image of edgeworth to make your point? That’s edgeworth standing on the right side of the courtroom, where he’s always wrong.

The whole point of the ace attorney games is if you are on the left, you are good and correct. If you are on the right, you are evil and wrong. And if you are in the center, you are either a hopelessly confused idiot, or evil.

I don’t think descriptivist is really operating on a normative level. It is not taking the position people/society ought not try to shape the language. It is simply recognizing the reality that the meaning of a word in language is (*insert specific branch here - but often it is something like “common usage”).

Wow OP, you’re telling me that a rule that, per your Wikipedia article, originated in a 2019 paper, has had a “near” perfect record since 1970? That’s crazy!

The crazy part is, of course, that the record isn’t actually perfect.

The more you look at that door the worse it becomes. It’s actually a total mindfuck, because the zombie is reaching he hand around the outside of the door frame, which almost makes it seem like he’s reaching through a wall - but that same dead space he’s reaching through is part of the connecting wall in the hallway

I feel like the bigger a company is, the easier it would be to nationalize. A nationalized Ticketmaster/livenation would be pretty cool I think.
