Because scientists who study language seriously understand that trying to stem the tide of random language change is futile and pointless.

A dictionary lists all the words people use. It does not curate the words people should use. Therefore, a words presence in a dictionary is not proof of anything other than the word has been used before.
OT, kinda. My eldest kid is in the final year of UK junior school so finally cut lose to walk to and from school as is culturally acceptable here.. I gave her a phone so she could let us (mum/dad) know she was on her way home from school, deciding to go home to a friends etc.. the school caught wind and apparently it was against school policy so she was disciplined (along with a number of her peers) - the extent of w…

How will the school even know if she has a phone, as long as she keeps it turned off and hidden? She should just keep taking it anyway regardless of the bullshit policy and simply not use it at school.

why is the school monitoring how kids commute and using airtags? it's not airtags fault, it's your orwellian government. this is such a dumb take i can't even. airtags alert people when they are on someone's person that they are not registered to, on iPhone and Android. kids commute on the train in japan, germany and other places, this is absurd.

Notice that while “etymonline” may not like it, serious dictionaries like OED give its meaning without any value judgments. Because scientists who study language seriously understand that trying to stem the tide of random language change is futile and pointless.

Lufthansa had massive problems with lost luggage lately and people started adding airtags to their bags that led to arrests of some folks, so I guess they want to "protect their reputation".
Ok so if your suitcase is indeed lost - don’t say u had airtag in there. Say you had 200k worth of camera equipment instead…
So good luck :)
I'm flying with another airline, but reading about this and stories of travellers luggage getting lost prompted me to purchase 4 tiles for my upcoming international flights. They're on their way to me now by express shipping. So the author is correct in that banning Bluetooth trackers is just going to make them even more popular.
For some recent flights I did put an AirTag in my checked bag. Whilst I didn’t need it, it was reassuring to be able to see that the bag had made it to the destination whilst waiting at the carousel.
