Yep, and they state that purposely is a real word that's been in use for 500 years. I'll fight them to my grave! My beef with it has always been that two perfect words exist already: melancholia and melancholic. Between them, they cover all the ways in which I wish to use the word. |

I would advise you to reflect on which you care more about:
1. Being a supportive to a friend who feels so sad or stressed they need a more expressive word.
2. Urging people to change their words in ways that do not impact meaning.
