@wallhackio granted, it’s already been clipped from the original latin (bona fides) anyway, so we’ve already been seeing language change in play fur a while

@aescling @wallhackio is it clipped from the nominative or is it just directly from the ablative? (orthographically anyway. obvs english pronunciations are not very latinate for it)

@alyssa @wallhackio oh wait fuck i’m a silly catte it’s not even a clipping. it’s just the ablative

@wallhackio (ftr “bonafide” is an attested spelling, which makes sense given how it is often purronounced these days)
