I didn’t totally notice it happening, but the quiet obsolescence of the 80s-90s-style colloquial understanding of “Luddite” has started to make it surprising to hear someone use it to mean “dimwit afraid of computer” — and they’re often gently corrected in a way that doesn’t seem super pedantic

Pedantic reminder that the people are Afghans. Afghanis are a currency.

(Still amazed at the people who spent a year with me in Afghanistan and never learned that. )
