@mWare@ottawa.place I have found in my years on this Earth that it is functionally impossible to be either strictly prescriptivist (language could never evolve and change) nor strictly descriptivist (we need to have *some* level of common meaning and understanding).
That said, in those same years, I've never once seen "eachother". I don't deny it might exist in history or in some other place than those I've inhabited or read the written word from, but it's alien to my experience.
Honestly, I was just having fun with the premise in order to point out, alongside, the fun pronunciation thing I'd noticed.

@ZenHeathen@beige.party no aggro! It's a lively debate :) I am particularly '''offended''' by the poll that @Osteopenia_Powers@newsie.social sent to me: https://newsie.social/@Osteopenia_Powers/116569201154359700
