When “converse” isn’t edgy enough.
Converse is like 2-3 sentences. Conversate is holding a conversation over 5 minutes or more
Not according to the dictionary. Conversate literally defined as “to have a conversation”. A conversation isn’t limited to interactions over 5 mins. More from Merriam-Webster:
I think it’s fair to say it’s widely frowned upon by most English speakers. It’s longer than the original word, has much more limited usage, and it immediately makes you sound like an idiot. It’s awful.
I think it's converse. Just say talk.
On par with "orientate"
Or adaption
Adaptate 😤
Not really because that's just the British way to say it. Conversate is just wrong.
Its a perfectly cromulant word
Came here to roast on that, too. 😂 Attempting to make fun of someone who "can't conversate" is just too rich.
...and as a former business major...all I have to say is, you're either going to be a business (of sorts) or work for a business. Hopefully, you will also be dealing with money. Knowing what makes businesses tick, and understanding money, isn't a bad thing. 🙂
Looking at present-day society & towards our future, I'd definitely steer more young men away from college & towards trade schools & the like.
