Hi Dear Folk,
You know how I love words and the English language, well a word I ran across the other day was Post-truth.
It seams that this word Post-truth entered into the Oxford dictionaries in 2016. It is defined as an adjective relating to circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than emotional appeals.
Wow!
Doesn't that sum a lot up?
What are your thoughts?

WOW is right! Interesting concept of facts being less influential than emotions, but I can see that happening. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly happening in the world now.
