Default Re: One word for John Cole

M,

Your question makes me sound like a lunatic. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Unfortunately, I have a list of words that set me off. "Condominiumized," for one, makes the list. Here's a few more: thing, aspect, experience, and relationship (god, how I hate relationship, as in "I'm having trouble with my relationship"). These are in the vague class. "Prioritize" makes me batty, along with many verbs ending in "ize." "Interface with" used for "talk to." I am not kidding, M, I've heard sane people (well, deans) say this.

And I look at language and usage very leniently. Imagine what torments a strict grammarian.

John
