That absolutely is NOT modern vs archaic.

Is this the part where I post dictionary links and you argue that the dictionaries are incorrect? We've been down that road before.

I choose my spots. They are meant playfully if that helps your sore ego.

I am at an all time low after the brutal response to my sammich. You cannot make me feel any worse about myself at this time.

For revenge, I'm going to make some partially cooked onions.

Dictionaries commonly assign colloquial definitions to words. They are guides for common diction not professionalism. They also like to assign arbitrary definitions to words from other languages, though they have definite meanings in other languages. I'll let the professionals define professionalism and the French define amateur. But thanks.

Look, I'm not saying you're wrong in the observations you're making about what people think. I'm saying that what people think is wrong. I think you're absolutely correct that people are idiots and use words wrongly, and that the powers that be support that because they know it ends up in newspeak, which makes doubleplus good profits for the party.

Specificity is all that keeps the dumbification of mer'cuh at bay aladerp, how dare you champion the grey area?

I don't usually do this at present, but I've written for companies in technology, medical devices, banking, finance, real estate, and gaming. I'm between semesters right now, so I picked up a contract with a cloud software company.

it's not the veggies pal. it was the combo of roast beef, pickle, and half mayo half mustard. you may be a gentleman and a scholar but you are a sandwich philistine
