I, am a certified dumbass. Like I’ve got a license and everything. In fact I got a scholarship at Jupiter and graduated with a masters degree the damned moment I was conceived in this world. Took 9 whole months.

incredibly bold of taylor swift to make her re-records worse than the original version of her songs in nearly all cases.

The oblique form of a word displacing the nominative is not confined to Romance languages by the way: since oblique forms are more common, it makes sense that irregular or rarer nominative forms get remodeled based on the oblique form, or lost entirely. We tend to think of the nominative form in nominative-accusative inflecting languages as the uninflected, prototypical form of a word, but of course in practice that isn’t always how the speakers of a language understand it.

A great example of this is in English pronouns: we lost the distinct nominative “ye” in favor of oblique “you” in all cases; the rare dialects that preserve the 2nd person familiar AFAIK tend to retain just “thee,” and don’t use “thou” anymore. Our first person pronoun retains its nominative form, “I”--but “I” isn’t the prototypical form of the pronoun anymore! In many varieties of colloquial English, the uninflected form of the first person pronoun is “me”, and the nominative form can only appear to the left of a verb: this is why people say “She’s better at running than me,” or “--Who wants to come with us? --Me.” The subreddit r/me_irl notably has the German counterpart r/ich_iel--because German doesn’t have that rule, “ich” is still the prototypical form of the pronoun, and there are contexts in which using the nominative form in English would make you sound like a space alien, and using the oblique form in German would also be incredibly jarring.
