A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

It joins 'the ask' and 'the spend' and 'action this' as words people use to sound trendy and smart. It's the surest sign someone went from Used Cars to I.T sales in their career, and should be heard with similar mistrust.
If your peers use these - heck, if they use 'emails', pluralizing the mass noun - just laugh at them like you got their absurdist attempt to lampoon one of these people so they can learn how ridiculous they sound. Help your friends.
Since you’re ignoring me, here’s some bait: what’s your specific citation for your prescriptivist rule that “email” is a singular and plural noun by divine definition?
It's like regular mail, but with an e in front, you know?
