Diffusion not osmosis
This probably shouldn’t piss me off as much as it does but it does piss me off so I’m gonna damn well talk about it. People will sometimes say that for example they picked up an accent through osmosis which is wrong, wrong because that's not what FUCKING OSMOSIS IS. So as explanation osmosis is the transfer of water through a membrane (usually) down the concentration gradient (going from an area with more water to an area with less) but that's not what makes it wrong, what makes it wrong is that osmosis only applies to water. So if you literally can’t gain accent through osmosis, you can however gain one through diffusion which is basically the same thing as osmosis but applies to literally everything else except water so people really should say that they got something through diffusion instead of osmosis.
