I had a similar experience when I tried to search through reviews on amazon on the mobile website. The search box is gone and you're supposed to ask Rufus now.

  What would you call it?

    Useless. I would call it useless.

    Dufus is how it automatically maps when I say it out loud.

    (English doesn’t work like that people use cringe as an adjective therefore it is one, it’s an extremely flexible language.)
    - BeetleB 1mo ago
      (Flexible also allows for criticism of extant usages.)
      - jamiek88 1mo ago
        (Yes but that wasn’t criticism it was attempting to incorrectly correct.) We’ve nested enough folks haha.

    That’s an awfully persnickety correction attempt for someone that replaced an opening capital letter and period with parentheses. That’s far more grammatically lax than using slang.

    Oxford dictionary lists cringe as adjective. Cambridge dictionary lists cringe as adjective. Merriam-Webster lists cringe as adjective. Might need to update your understanding.

      > Merriam-Webster lists cringe as adjective. MW has it as slang. Cambridge has it as informal. OED I don't have access to.

        Slang and informal words exist, yes.

      It's the renounification that really bugs people.

    Americans and especially corporate culture America likes to do this all the time: The ask instead of request is an example. I just politely use the words I prefer when that happens. Our new promotes for this year. etc. I read from a linguistic source that it's a feature of English and the Brits do it as well.

    It’s shorthand for “makes you cringe” :shrug:
