there is just no way that "temporary" bypass is actually going to be temporary

Fun fact, the current pronunciation of "lose" likely comes from people in the past confusing it with "loose"! Quoting the OED:

The regular modern English pronunciation representing Old English losian would be /ləʊz/; the standard English pronunciation /luːz/ seems to be due to association with LOOSE v., which in some contexts (e.g. to loose hold) closely approaches this verb in meaning.

Otherwise it would probably be pronounced as /ləʊz/ (similar to nose, pose, close, etc.).

So people in the past doing the conflation - totally fine, accepted, and normal. Because that's what you learned from the start. But people now doing the same kind of conflation - unacceptable, illiterate, stupid. Because that's new and different.

People are afraid of change, who knew...

need to vent?
