  • What's really great about English is that it's a living language. No one can control it or make it the way they want it, it just develops. It has lots of variation and plural meanings and similes and different ways of saying the same thing.

    Example (albeit a shite example):
    Enourmous
    +

    Gigantic

    Ginormous.

    Now I personally wince when people say 'ginormous' but who the fuck cares? Its just snobbery that makes me hate it, like the way I think 'toilet' is a 'naff'* word and 'lavatory' isn't.

    As for the errors, do you really really have nothing better to do?!
    C'mon guys get a life (and it is guys, I can't see any women correcting people!)

    • an interesting word, naff. It means 'Not Available For F*cking', comes from that slang/patois (its got a name but I can't remember it) that the gay community used to avoid detection during the days when homosexuality was illegal.
