    I’ve been hearing it so often lately that it was just awarded a place on my list of content filters.

        my honest reply is: these days when i see a new term appearing all at once, i don’t really think about the frequency illusion as much as i think it’s a try at a new buzz term that will ultimately accomplish nothing except to make crappy bloggers money while everyone just gets more misinformed. but i’m a pessimist. but freq illusion happens when you hear friends saying new vocab words. i don’t think it applies to new blogger jargon.

        • Executive dysfunction is a medical term and has been in use for at least 40 years. Now that ADHD is gaining recognition as neurodivergence and not just kids that don’t pay attention, expect to see it more, especially in ADHD communities and other online spaces.

            okay. will do. i’ll expect it. i’m ready.

            but i really wasn’t asking you anything; i was answering something you asked. i find it really irritating when people use others just to set up situations to say what they really wanted to say in the first place. it makes you sound like you have an agenda and aren’t just here to be friends.
