@BillMaher misses the days when "Acting" meant "they're #Pretending they're something or some-way they aren't actually" | @Screencrushnews
Bill Maher laments 'the way popular culture is deadening our imagination' in a report you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Pretending” is built on ancient words that mean "to Stretch Before (see Pre-)" (with upper 'stories' that mean "to Put Forward as an Excuse, Allege, Lay Claim, Assert, Maintain").
