  • This is hardly an answer, though it is helpful. – jarmanso7 Sep 28 '22 at 08:05

    @jarmanso7 I understand how you may think it is too short, but this answer actually directly answers the question asked also demonstrates one important SE policy: answers should not go in the comments. I couldn't have commented with the info but I didn't. – Eddie Kal Sep 28 '22 at 16:26
  • Well it's not about the length, it's about the fact that it is a link-only answer. I agree with the SE policy that answers should not go in the comments. – jarmanso7 Sep 28 '22 at 20:52
  • @jarmanso7 Well, I appreciate the criticism, but I do think saying it is a link-only answer is inaccurate and unfair, and to be honest, a distortion of the facts. I showed the word inflection which is exactly what the questioner asked. I felt unqualified to explain the cultural and historical aspects of that change, so I linked much existing great answers. To say "it's a link-only answer" is just ignoring the question and ignoring my first line. – Eddie Kal Sep 28 '22 at 21:14
  • Okay, besides the 4 links, you included a single word (without an explanation), and therefore it's not a link-only answer. Still, it lacks context and explanation, which is one of the reasons why link-only answers are discouraged. – jarmanso7 Sep 28 '22 at 21:34
  • I mean, how is "くだらない⇒くだらねえ" better than "Yes, くだらねえ is one form for くだらない", to answer OP's question? – jarmanso7 Sep 28 '22 at 21:38
  • You are not required to improve your answer if you don't feel like, or don't have time, but the answer could definitely be improved, so don't get surprised I criticise it. – jarmanso7 Sep 28 '22 at 21:41
