Urban Purpose Amnesia
a condition in which the editors of a popular website forget to fulfill their mission as a vital conduit for the evolution of english vernacular, as spoken by the people on a regular basis.
instead of focusing on the mission, they opt to include and proliferate forced, unwitty and often juvenile standards that instead creates a forgettable, unreliable and unusable reference for the future.
by approving seemingly every entry, and by setting a low quality standard, urban dictionary has forgetten why it exists and has acquired urban purpose amnesia. there appears to be a disregard for the quality of examples, and whether they are insightful, funny or coherent. pundits do not believe urban dictionary can survive as a medium for the english language on its current course. in fact, previously well placed entries may also be ignored, rendering the web site’s entire existence meaningless.
