Comment on Why do we use the term Ban when it's temporary? Why not the more accurate, Suspension?
Steve@communick.news 3 weeks agoMy original question wasn’t about changing anything at this point. It was about when and why this change in usage happened.
But with all the push back saying I’m actually wrong, I’ve instead been forced into a place where I have to defend the dictionary.
I’m not arguing for a new standard. I’m saying there was a standard, and somehow we got off it; And are now we’re in a place of ambiguity.

That’s just how language works. It changes and morphs as time goes on and culture leaders change. And in my last, idk 20 or so years on the internet I’ve never really seen the word suspension used. It’s always been temp ban, ban or permaban.
