I have noticed a shorter usage of words that aren't used much anymore

Social predator

Mattering

Importance

Prioritize

Courage

Desensitized

Taboo

Etc., etc., etc.

Is anyone else noticing this?

It seems in the last twenty years, the focus of our language has shifted.

Among other things.

What do you think?

(Also, id you have indeed come across these words several times recently, just know that that is NOT the point; just that I have noticed that there are certain words that aren't used anymore.and I want to know if any of you have noticed that too)

    "Desensitized" seems to have been replaced by "normalized".
