minus-squareLifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months agoIs alcoholist(s) term that means something different than alcoholic(s)? Never seen it before
minus-squaremarkovs_gun@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 months agoNo, I suspect OP’s native language might not be English.
minus-squareSchlemmy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoTrue, autocorrect switched alcoholic to alcoholist.
minus-squareJAPJER@mtgzone.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months agoAlcoholist is an older word for alcoholic. They might be older, hence the older word
minus-squareLifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoYeah I wasn’t sure if maybe it was a term they used in another part of the world, or if maybe it meant one who partakes in the use of alcohol but maybe isn’t an addict. It seems like it is a synonym like you are saying.
minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoI think it’s alcoholism/alcoholic. Just a different translation.
