Joe B. Wall<p>I’m not remotely against language changing (it’s where a lot of the fun in and power of language resides), but I am dead set against letting business and commerce insinuate itself into my joyous realm of florid poetry and mangy doggerel like a slutty double-agent for the dying of the light.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/decolonizeyourlanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>decolonizeyourlanguage</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/commercelacksjoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>commercelacksjoy</span></a></p>
