You could make the same argument for standard German, which really only exists in writing and the voices of newscasters, and probably for English and many other languages. Of course, not many English or German speakers argue about what is or is not the purest form of the language.

This comment about French culture could not be any more American if it was wearing a MAGA cap, smoking meth and complaining about minorities.

Maybe this time around, they’ll include ALL of Martin’s children.

“ The idea that Chalke could ever be seen as mousy or frumpy is Firefly Lane’s most implausible conceit.”

Many people who believe in the simulation hypothesis (not that I’m one) think it could be a cellular automaton such as the Game of Life (no, not the one with the cars and little pegs for spouses and children, but John Conway’s “Game of Life”).
