The Yiddish Jews were actually demonized by Zionists, who thought Hebrew was a superior language and saw Ostjuden (eastern european Jews who spoke Yiddish) as subhumans, which is why Zionism marginalized Yiddish (a large percentage of Yiddish Jews were actually anti-Zionist. Look up Bundism) and ultimately Hebrew became the majority

Tl;dr same comment as yours, but replace Yiddish with Hebrew.
Thank you for the correction! I actually read a bit about it later on but it was too late to be changing my comment, lol. 🫶
Np! I didn’t assume malice from you if it matters, just wanted to set it straight. :- )
it’s never too late to “edit:”
Eh, sometimes I’d rather let my ignorance stay and collect the (mostly) deserved downvotes, but you’re right.
you don’t need to edit to correct it.
but you can add an edit that says “I know better now, sorry”
Yeah I do that. It’s also a reminder of how I learn and grow, when I feel disproportionally disappointed in myself.
