Repeat after me
“Worse” and “worst” ARE NOT SYNONYMS. You are using “worse” when you mean “worst”. You know who you are.
- Good, better, best.
- Bad, worse, worst.
- The best of all possible worlds.
- In the worst case.
- His own worst enemy.
- For better or for worse.
For fuck’s sake, we’ve already been saddled with the ludicrous situation where “literally” has become its own antonym. (Merriam-Webster, for one, officially gave up the fight on that one.) Now, when you use the word "literally", nobody knows any more whether you actually MEAN "literally" or "figuratively" or "ironically" or "absolutely not at all". The endgame of using just whatever word comes to hand to mean whatever the fuck you want it to mean right then, is that nobody knows what the fuck you’re talking about because the words coming out of your mouth make no sense except to yourself.
Languages WORK because we agree on what words mean what things. When we just spew arbitrary word-salad, communication breaks down.

In 1973, Sacheen Littlefeather took the stage to reject an Oscar on behalf of Marlon Brando. She was given 60 seconds on stage to provide the following speech:
“Hello. My name is Sacheen Littlefeather. I'm Apache and I am president of the National Native American Affirmative Image Committee. I'm representing Marlon Brando this evening and he has asked me to tell you in a very long speech, which I cannot share with you presently because of time but I will be glad to share with the press afterwards, that he very regretfully cannot accept this very generous award. And the reasons for this being are the treatment of American Indians today by the film industry – excuse me – and on television in movie reruns, and also with recent happenings at Wounded Knee. I beg at this time that I have not intruded upon this evening and that we will in the future, our hearts and our understandings will meet with love and generosity. Thank you on behalf of Marlon Brando"
She kept her full composure despite the boos and jeers coming from the audience. John Wayne had to be restrained by security because he wanted to physically assault her as she left the stage. Clint Eastwood mocked her by saying that he was presenting the award on behalf of “all the cowboys shot in all the John Ford Westerns.” Subsequently, Littlefeather was blacklisted by Hollywood and never worked again.
Nearly half a century later, Littlefeather will return to the Academy as a guest of honor on September 17, 2022.

„Was ich sehr deutlich und intensiv zum Ausdruck bringen wollte, war, dass der Grund, warum diese Menschen Helden und Götter erfinden oder sich einbilden mussten, pure Angst ist. Angst vor dem Leben und Angst vor dem Tod.“
« Ce que je voulais exprimer très clairement et intensément, c'est que la raison pour laquelle ces gens ont dû inventer des héros et des dieux ou s'imaginer est la pure peur. Peur de la vie et peur de la mort. »
„What I wanted to express very clearly and intensively was that the reason why these people had to invent or imagine heroes and gods is pure fear. Fear of life and fear of death.”
