Don't forgot there are severe downsides to a (exceedingly) dynamic language. As a law student I can attest to the serious consequences of improper use or divergent understanding of words.

"for the win" You cannot win EverQuest. This EMU should prove that - the game's been dead for 6 years or more.

"for great justice" I'm fairly certain there's nothing remotely involving the moral concept of justice anywhere near whatever drivel preceded the phrase.

"lawl/lewl/luls/lulz" any derivative of the initial acronym. This also applies to lollers, lollerskates, roflcopter, etc.

'reverse racism'
Hate it, it implies only white people are racist.

Which is racist.

'for great justice' is just a bad translation to english, from the 'all your base' game.

there's nothing gramatically incorrect about "for great justice" either. it is a perfectly acceptable prepositional phrase.

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.

Just had someone in my office say "wrote" when she should have said "written".

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.
