i mean technically yeah, workers are entitled to benefits in return for the fruits of their labors, but lately when people say “entitled” they mean “with a greedy and unjustified sense of entitlement” i.e. “not entitled”

it’s a shame, but also amusing, when a word becomes its own antonym

Just realized that 'original' is an ; meaning both 'new' and 'established'. An original method is the opposite of the original method.
