Hebrew by Inbal

This super commom verb in Hebrew is used in this infinitive form when someone calls out to get even closer so that they can get more individuals/items in;

When someone describes how little space there was in a crowd so you really had to move tightly with very little space;
And just like any verb, you conjugate it based on number, gender, and tense.
While it is not the shortest one, it is very useful, especially in
the small and often crowded land of Israel.

"warnen" (jemanden auf eine Gefahr aufmerksam machen), Bsp.: "Ich warne" = perlokutiver Sprechakt

Die inflationäre Verwendung des Wortes "warnen" in den unterschiedlichsten Kontexten bewirkt eine abnehmende Wirksamkeit. Schlagzeilen geraten zur leeren Phrase.

In der nachfolgenden Grafik sind Beispiele aus der jüngsten Zeit willkürlich gesammelt und zeigen deutlich die wahllose Verwendung des Verbs "warnen".

I'm a big proponent of "someone who..." rather than saying "someone that..."
I know it's grammatically acceptable, I'm saying it's not just a missed opportunity, it's dumbing-down our #language and making our #communications less human. Literally.
Calling a #person "that" demotes us to become just as boring as an #object and not worthy of distinction from same. What are your thoughts, fediverse?
