whenever i see people use "sonder" like a real word, i always want to correct them and say that this is a fake term invented over a decade ago by a tumblr poetry page called “the dictionary of obscure sorrows.” but then i would have to admit to Knowing That

i am a prescriptivist but just about this one word being fake

@gantisdant brb changing our title to "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows"...

@gantisdant The neat thing about words is they're all made up and we just roughly agree on what they mean, so now that this is in the OED it's just a word with a Tumblr etymology

@gantisdant It’s even funnier that Marriott named their AirBNB-style aparthotels this

@gantisdant Hey all words are fake and made up. Sonder is as real as any other word because people gave it meaning.

@gantisdant This is how a lot of new words come to be. It’s a real word now.

@gantisdant those were all made up!? 😭

@gantisdant the way you capitalized “Knowing That” really aggravates me

@gantisdant bro all words are made up
