A22 would be proud; I still remember his furious rant about the matter. :pPotato wrote:So I spent an hour or so last night debating with a horde of tumblr-beasts (yes, I am implying that regular tumblr users are not people) about how the asinine vagueness of "feels" used to replace any real discussion of [any emotion or reaction to anything at all] is a completely moronic devolution of human thought and language worse even than George Orwell's Newspeak (because "doubleplusungood" is still an infinitely more descriptive term than "feels")
I actually agree, though; "feels" is a useful shorthand for "was emotionally moved", but is useless as anything other than a vague statement to that effect.
