Lord. I want to talk about the use of the word "friend" on the Internet. Of course, now everything is adjusted to modernity. But I think some things can not be let go.
It all started probably with LJ? Friend, friend, and translated "friend." And so it began totally adding friends. In LiveJournal, this is not very noticeable, in my opinion, the “tape of friends” can be called as you please, but with the advent of “VKontakte” the word “friend” has generally depreciated!
I don’t care how they are in the west, maybe they can understand a friend differently, I (and I’m sure many) cannot.
Of course just to take and erase this word is impossible. I propose to find a replacement! I suggest very much;)
Request: People, do not write synonyms please. Words that REALLY can replace what we need. Unless of course you think that your options can do it - I sympathize with you. Reflections are however accepted with joy.
