I would be inclined to say that many political and social terms have loss true meaning due to their overuse (especially as a pejorative). I am talking those "loaded" words such as Fascist, Nazi, Communist, Racist, Anti-Semite, Sexist, etc. These words are typically used more or less to draw attention and/or offend people. Rarely do I see them applied accurately in a given situation. In fact, George Orwell spoke on this very abuse of words : "It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else." |

Irregardless.
I had a room-mate who constantly used that one, so much so that I found it popping out of my mouth (and keyboard) if I wasn't paying attention. Took me months to get rid of the habit after getting rid of the room-mate. |

My favorite may be the combination or interchangeability of certain terms like Fascist/Communist as if anything ending in ist that you don't like is essentially the same irregardless. |

Took me months to get rid of the habit after getting rid of the room-mate. I think some people think adding an extra syllable, and thereby lengthening the word, makes them sound more intelligent. News channel talking heads use it fairly regularly. Apparently defenders of good English have been battling this dumb word since at least the early 20th century. |

Question: What is irony?
Answer: Ferrish?
OK it has been a day and I have no idea what you getting at here. I humbly ask you clarify. It was a bad joke...it take a while to decipher it, I suppose. I simply took "irony" to mean something like "metalish"...that is like a metal, or like an iron....hence the "ferrish" |

I've heard several people lately say, "We were just conversating." By which, I assume they mean they were having a conversation.
But my all time most despised is when people use "you and I" when it should be "you and me" and think that they are so wise and intelligent. Example: "just between you and I" and "she told it to you and I" For some reason some cannot grasp the difference between the subjective and objective cases!

I was waiting for a post like this to begin ranting about the "rules" taught in grammers which have no bearing on English but came out of the desire for English to speak Latin. Not saying your example is one, but it does ring close. I'll learn y'all more later. |

I've noticed that in some early modern English literature that double negatives are very frequent, so much so that I wonder if the rule against them is a bit arbitrary.

I've noticed that in some early modern English literature that double negatives are very frequent, so much so that I wonder if the rule against them is a bit arbitrary.
Comes from the Latinzation of the language when the grammar books were developed for mass education. In Germanic languages, double, triple, quadruple negation has been a way of emphasizing the negation (as I understand Slavic languages do this as well), but they too have suffered under the "negation rule." The English I grew up speaking the and the German I spoke day to day, multiple negation was done frequently too clearly make a point of emphasis. "Ain't no way no one would never do nothing like that." |

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage. |

I'm surprised no one in this thread has brought up the use of "literal".
"The cars were literally flying past me!"
My joke I have nowadays is my use of "figuratively: Last night I *figuratively* went to the store and some milk. Rly, I much more of a laugh riot in person. |

"The cars were literally flying past me!" Surprised as well. Good call! My joke I have nowadays is my use of "figuratively: Similarly, I try to throw a "theoretically" onto the end of things for no other reason than hijinks. |

In lieu of disconcerting or to mean lack of concern? |

Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute...
Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth.
