People create language, I accept that, but when you argue that it grows organically, I say that means that it grows - that is, it shouldn't regress, or move laterally even, but expand and grow.

When you say that you're "drinking the cool-aid [sic]" - you may BELIEVE that you are jumping on the bandwagon but you are, in fact, committing cult suicide in a small country in Africa

When you say that you are setting up a straw man you are not, in fact, creating an outline of a plan (link goes to word document), but in fact, arguing fallaciously. There are more, but these two were both used multiple times today, and are aggravating me greatly.

See, now, I use the drinking of the kool-aid reference with Apple fanatics and they get upset because they think I'm telling them that they're some kind of fanboy people following and idolizing a company, when in fact, if Apple released iPunch and filled it with arsenic, there'd be a lot less Apple fanatics about.

Also I had a bad BAD habit of abusing Literally and "So on and so forth." My friends were kind enough to abuse the shit out of me until I stopped. Now I to deal with a coworker that ends every sentence with "so on and so forth." I'd slap him if he wasn't my senior.

hehe, now you're getting into the realm of Listen up, Internet... which I'm also OK with.

Remember how you wanted me to have a login for your site and comment and stuff? Well the Jonestown incedent was in South America so....Good news is I have found another way to keep myself entertained at work as who'd a thunk I could look at this but not anything else!
