    Default Misuse of the English language on TA

    Post examples you see frequently. I'll start.
    1. "You're complexed"
    That is not a English adjective. The word "complexed" does not exist, rather you can say "You have a complex".
    2. "You're butthurted"
    Even in past tense, you still say "you're butthurt". Even if butthurt is not really a word, "hurt" is and no one says "yesterday I was hurted".

    Mistakes in english are a good thing and are normal. Means anglo culture hasn't bombarded us enough.

    LangSaying someone is complexed is completely fine, independently of whether linguistic bureaucrats think so or not. Language is defined by the people who speak it and not the Oxford dictionary.
