Okay, I actually just came over here to rant about how much I hate academic language without anyone but you seeing me. One of the people on my flist has this tl;dr post about fic, which is very interesting, but she keeps talking about how certain trends devalorize emotion-based stories, and I had no idea what she was talking about, because I don't recognize that term and it's not in any of my usual suspect word sites. After much more headache than necessary I find that it's roughly equivalent to "taking away meaning" and why she didn't just use something like "devalues" I don't know.

I bet she thinks praxis is a word, also.
