Democrats Smear Amy Coney Barrett for Saying ‘Sexual Preference’. The really Orwellian thing here is that Merriam-Webster’s dictionary took *only hours* to change their published definition of the phrase to be in line with the Democrats’ new messaging. 1984’s Ministry of Truth is real!

I suppose we’d use the phrase ‘soil preference’ in relation to plants because Lavender consciously chooses well drained soil?

Clown world.

People do talk about plants preferring certain types of conditions.

Yeah. In a somewhat unsurprising yet ironic twist Merriam-Webster does that on their page for 'conifer':

They grow throughout the world (except in Antarctica) and prefer temperate climate zones. - https://archive.is/LWOoX#selection-753.289-753.378

I imagine they'll now be busy going back to fix such slips since preference always referred to conscious choice and we have always been at war with Eastasia.
