Khan claims Trump attacks London because he’s ‘jealous’ of city’s success
That’s a funny way to say that Trumpet is a racist prick 😅.
Today, I officially give up on pointing out the difference between envy and jealousy. When the English get it wrong, the battle is lost.
Good, you are gatekeeping a meaningless distinction for a definition that has been in use since the 1300s. From wiktionary:
Some usage guides seek to distinguish “jealous” from “envious”, using jealous to mean “protective of one’s own position or possessions” – one “jealously guards what one has” – and envious to mean “desirous of others’ position or possessions” – one “envies what others have”.[1] This distinction is also maintained in the psychological and philosophical literature.[2][3] In common usage, however, although envious is always with respect to others’ possessions or fortune, jealous does not always refer strictly to one’s own possessions (as shown by the citations above).
