I still reserve the right to choke someone maliciously for using ginormous in my presence, I don't give a damn if it's been added to the dictionary or not.

Seriously. The "word" grrrl has been added to the Oxford English dictionary. Wtf.

I had to look it up....the whole book needs to be thrown out.

And before 10 people go jumping off the handle screaming its language evolution man, linguistic scholars decided that...blahblah Just Stop.

If you really want to consider "grrrl" as a real word because someone in an office decided it was, good for you. I'm going to continue fighting bullshit like this and denying it is a word, and no it doesn't make me feel like an asshat. It makes me feel like someone with a fucking brain.

Sorry pikled just because the institution of language mandates it so, does not mean that I have to conform.

There's still free will and free thought, but please go ahead and defend grrrl all day.

You're the one trying to stifle free will and free thought. I don't use the word grrl, but I'm not enough of a tightwad that I can't let other people use the language how they want. As long as people are successfully, accurately conveying a thought, language has served its purpose.

Nope. This is America remember. The land of Taxes, forced healthcare, putting our children in debt, and pouring oil into natural resources for weeks on end.

Stifle!?

...yea you're right, there's something about the legitimation of a slang term into a real word that just bothers me.

I would like to see language conserved to some degree instead of recognizing every used word as a legit word. Ya dig Bromandizzle!?
