But, I'm not opposed to new words coming into the mainstream; the more the merrier, I say. (Though I'll admit to a certain annoyance with the current trend of "amazeballs".) And I still remember completely annoying my parents with the advent of "duh".

Even made-up ones. As a Shakespeare fan, I know many words and phrases were coined in his writings that stuck and rightly so.<br /><br />What annoys me is when the completely wrong usage of a word starts to creep into language replacing the absolutely correct, just as useful predecessor not because the word is better but because the new word is misused en masse.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896905033728859809noreply@blogger.com
