The Spanish language academy does not insult: it declines
The academy consultation account received a question spoiling for a fight about adjectives and their endings.
«Hay adjetivos de dos terminaciones, como «rojo, -ja», «amarillo, -lla» o «listo, -ta», y otros de una sola terminación, como «marrón», «azul» o «imbécil».»
Slipping the burn inside the grammatical example is the closest linguistics has ever come to a contact sport.
