    Never thought of it that way. Makes sense, now I don’t have to think it was the Mandela effect.

      Yeah, it’s honestly super interesting how language and word choice change perception.

      I remember reading something a while ago that just due to the English language’s structure and various idiosyncrasies, just using it makes people more selfish.

      And it’s happening on such a basic level, it’s almost impossible for people to notice. It just colors every communication in a veneer of “me first”.
