It was created but the work stopped, in part, because feminist blogs ranted about it being sexist and how women shouldn't need to do that

Why is it 1995-1999? Would all the be true for 1990-1999?

If it had been made back then, sure. But this is at least 6 years old now

At the time of writing, the "not even 18 yet" wouldn't have applied to those of the early 90s, I assume

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

It's the 'not even 18 yet' bit. I think that "fact" is probably from, what, 2012 or 2013?

#6 is bullshit. Politics derives not from two Latin roots but from Ancient Greek πολιτικος 1/4

They butchered a joke and tried to pass it off as fact.

Yeah I downvoted the whole post for that reason. Lol

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

I always downvote these because they're 95% incorrect 100% of the time.

8 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I think they're more trying to point out the coincedence. Poli is a real latin root and tic is a word.

I believe "tic" is it's own suffix as well, but drawing it to "tick" is definitely stretching it.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

yeah, titling this facts when you don't research but just repost is why OP is bad at life.

The “fact” is from an old Dave Barry joke.

8 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

(politikos, "of”, "for", or "relating to citizens") which itself derives from πολιτης 2/4

8 years ago | Likes 61 Dislikes 0

(politēs, "citizen") with the -ικος (ikos, "of or pertaining to") suffix.

8 years ago | Likes 45 Dislikes 1

Latin, in fact, borrowed heavily from Greek over the centuries, politicus included. 4/4

8 years ago | Likes 39 Dislikes 1

they never said that their connection was the etymology of the word though

8 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

I mean, they even spelled poly wrong just to try and make it work. And Tick is from Middle English and probably originally Germanic.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 4

It was most certainly implied, as they broke it down into a false Latin root and prefix. How is that not implying the etymology of the word?

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

i saw it as them separating it into 2 words and choosing specific meanings to make a joke, they do say "if we combine"

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

They try to say it’s fact. Combining them doesn’t mean anything, and it’s intentionally misleading.
