thought for the day ... Evidence of the media to alter the language and therefore the cognitive processes continues to be demonstrated with the developing misuse of nouns as verbs ... The most obvious modern case is the word gay ... Originally an adjective, then it became a noun, and can now be a verb ! The latest one I have noticed is the word Monster . It is now acceptable to use the parlance to monster someone or something i.e. redescribe something as a monster from the initial adjective of monstrous . This neuro-cognitive cultural shift reveals the impact of mass media on the cultural habits of populations, and shows the dynamics of inherent propaganda.
