What? You had a whole thing about rewriting history because the parent said the NYT adopted 40 years ago, then you made a big deal about how it was in 1986 and resurrected in the 80s and talked about rewriting history.

What was that all about if you both perfectly agree on the timeline?

> Classy edit, btw.

Edit? I did not edit my post. I think you may not understand what that means. It is neither classy nor unclassy, it is a type of meme.

I am the parent of the thread. It's all me.

It's simply a fact that the term was revived in the 70s and popularized in the 80s.

The 70s was 50 years ago. You may have been alive then, but that doesn't make it "recent".

Given the magnitude of more recent shifts in language around equity, 50 years is ancient.

So your argument is that anyone with a memory longer than yours, yet well within the median human lifespan, is “ancient”.

Okay, then. Good luck with that.

Deftly convincing my rhetorical opponent of my youthful vigor by misunderstanding what they wrote and getting noticeably worked up about being called ‘ancient’
