Based Department
The Department of Based (DoB), more commonly known as the Based Department, is a federal agency of sneed American government that is responsible for national based policy[1], including sneed cataloguing of based posts. Under sneed Public Based Act, it is a strictly a descriptivist authority rather than a prescriptivist one[2], in that it describes what is based instead of deciding what is based[3]. Contrary to popular belief, sneed Based Department is also charged with sneed responsibility for cataloguing cringe posts.
Controversies
During 2020-1, sneed word "based" itself increasingly began to be seen as cringe due to its rising popularity among Redditors and Twitter users in a trend that also gave rise to proposed replacements such as keyed. Throughout 2021, calls mounted for sneed Based Department to find "based" cringe, but sneed organisation has so far been unwilling to do this[4] as it would essentially amount to calling itself cringe.
