Found this article in the longreads community arguing why “politically correct” terms shouldn’t be used. You guys have any thoughts?

    Both “to prescribe against [thing]” and “to proscribe [thing]” are functionally equivalent in this context, at least acc. to how I use both words:

    • to prescribe - to lay down rules on what should be accepted / rejected.
    • to proscribe - to forbid, to strongly recommend against something.

    But I’d rather use the first one here due to the topic, prescriptivism.
