Is altitude a factor?

THE FUCKING LANGUAGE HAS DIFFERENT WORDS WITH DIFFERENT MEANINGS FOR A REASON. MISUSE IRONIC AND I WILL FUCKING HUNT YOU DOWN

Irregardless, the point of language is to communicate information. If you ask most any person what the altitude of the mile high city is, they will have a general idea, because the question has a context, and the reference point of sea level is assumed in that context.

Language nazis are a dying breed, which is a good thing, in a language that is evolving all the time. If it wasn't, we'd still all be speaking old english.

If it "weren't," you fucking clod

Of course the poont of language is to communicate information. But we have established and mutually/generally understood and accepted rules in order to minimize misunderstanding. Taking two words with two separate meanings and deciding to conflate both meanings into just one reduces clarity and increases the likelihood of misunderstanding. It's like people who use ironic for sardonic and sarcastic, even though all three have separate meanings that help make the fucking language so rich and interesting in addition to being clear.

And of course language evolves. But when it evolves too quickly, you get results like that electronic pidgin crap that you see on twitter feeds that screams "I'm fucking lazy and didn't listen in English class!!1!" Evolution for the sake of clarity is one thing; evolution for the sake of laziness is quite another thing, and is deserving of ridicule and correction.

tl;dr fuck off

So all that, and you didn't even catch Irregardless, which isn't a word according to many language nazis, I even put it in bold for you as a hint.

ALTITUDE IS NEVER A FACTOR IN A FUCKING FOOTBALL GAME BECAUSE FOOTBALL IS PLAYED ON A FUCKING FIELD ON THE GROUND AND NOT UP IN THE FUCKING AIR SOMEWHERE

Main Difference – Altitude vs. Elevation

It isn't called elevation sickness
