When i started out here that was one of the complaints people had against me. I have since corrected my bad habit.

Big Woopee!
couldn't care less vs could care less - know the difference......
My grandpa used to tell me, "the beauty of the English language is that there is a word that means exactly what you want to say. Find it and use it." We're also not shy about stealing words from other languages when we don't have our own word that fits.
I'm genuinely curious as to why people who can express themselves clearly irritate you, other than some general anti-intellectual dislike of people with book learnin'.
I call them "my lesbians" lol.
At a job I used to have, I used to have to work on electronic crap in office building elevators. I used to love telling whatever intern was assisting me to "hand me the dikes" because it made the other people in the elevator really obviously uncomfortable.
"Dikes" is short for diagonal cutters. It has nothing to do with the slur against lesbians. Hypersensitive haters gonna hate.
I'm still gonna call a spade, a spade. And I don't mind being the pot that called the kettle black. 'Cause unlike ignorant folks, I know I'm not being the "r" word.
Yep, I reckon thats me alright, if you mean that, stuffed shirts give me a pain in the rear. But I too am genuinely curious. Given, what your Grandpa told you is true, why is it then necessary. to turn to other languages? Why not "find it and use it"?
Languages are made of other languages. Thirty percent of our vocabulary comes from French. Take out the French, German, Greek and Latin and we'd be left with grunts and jestures.
