Gee, sorry to request that people use words correctly. I'll revert to the standard Clintonese expectation of elastic words. Again, I appologize if my rigid "word prejudice" has offended anybody.
Oh, please. Why don't you just have a good cry, and get it out of your system, eh?
Perhaps your dictionary has a definition for "common usage"? Do you correct people who say things like, "I could care less," informing them that they mean the opposite of what they say? Do you really believe that anyone does not know what is meant by the phrase, "anti-semitic"? I mean, really?
PS: you will note that I did not at any point invoke the phrase, "anal-retentive", even though I was sorely tempted. Now, I suppose you'll nail me for the misplaced comma after that closing quote. Oh, damn -- now I'm gonna get it for saying "quote" instead of "quotation mark". I guess it's just not my day...
