You don’t get to change your adverbs, participles, adjectives, predicates, etc.
True, not in repressive societies. And look, I have limits, I’ll be hard pressed to refer to someone as squirrelkinlifragilisticexpialidocious every time. But you’d made a reasonable accommodation in polite company I figure?

Being respectful of everyone’s person would hurt my lil brain tryin to remember all those words.

Newfangled terminology
Thoughts on prescribing use of the OG word only?
