That’s true. Slang usage in literature just chafes me. That’s all. Maybe the word is no longer slang. Certainly published articles using it will help it along! Of course, I still get irritated by the fact that we can’t be bothered to use the word “cacti” as the plural of cactus.
Not cactuses? WTH?

There was a band called Cacti, but just like the word, they seem to have disappeared into oblivion.

Back for More
It’s like a dance
The way that you
Shake your head
In full denial of the truth
When it was knocking on your door
Nobody got in
Now when your screaming for a hand
Nobody’s listening
Didn’t get a chance
To say it loud
Your secrets kept you
Pushing down, disavow
...
Makes me think of liberals. They never learn. If they did, they wouldn’t be liberals any more.
