>>17836446 (You) The publisher of the English-language dictionary says searches for ‘gaslighting’ spiked more than 1,000%
The oldest dictionary publisher in the US defines gaslighting as causing the victim “to question the validity of their own thoughts, perception of reality, or memories,” among other things. A second definition is that gaslighting is “the act or practice of grossly misleading someone, especially for one’s own advantage.”
Merriam-Webster Editor-at-Large Peter Sokolowski told AP on =Monday that searches for the word rose by 1,740% this year.
He added thatthere was no single event that prompted the sudden curiosity and interest in ‘gaslighting’
“It’s a word that has risen so quickly in the English language, and especially in the last four years, that it actually came as a surprise to me and to many of us,” Sokolowski said
First of all this is the stupidest comment that I’ve heard in my entire life, “there’s no single event”??? What about biden in his dracula production at Philadelphia Hall calling maga supporter insurrectionists, enemies of the state and continuing to call patriotic Americans every fucking evil name in the book. “Sokolowski“ knew the event he just refused to admit the current fake president has gaslit his family, the country and the world his entire fucking evil life! And hes an evil SOB
