  • To make matters worse, you feel you must approve all comments, which flies in the face of freedom of expression. I don't expect my critical comments to be posted, since an opinionated word censor must approve it. Could it be because the few people who watched the video to the end kept calling YOU gay?

  • Easy there killer, I approve all comments with the exception of spam type ones.

  • For someone who is such a stickler for language, you didn't mind the use of an extra syllable when you used the word IRREGARDLESS, which amounts to a double negative. If you meant regardless adding the prefix "ir" negates it, thereby making it regarded for. And that would be gay on your part.

  • see my earlier response on my use of irregardless.

  • wouldn't the PATS one would be considered an

    exageration?<----I no thats spelled wrong but i think u no what it is

  • on the whole, the English language is doing quite fine, unified language, is what keeps the economy going.

    I think your mainly talking about entemology (sp) which is a normal part of any language

    The term "dynasty" is also used to describe the era during which a family reigned, as well as events, trends and artifacts of that period

  • you can make your own words.... and also you can have one word with two meanings

  • What do you have to say for language evolution? You speak a different English than your parents did, using words in "different contexts" than they did. MODERN SLANG is one way that new words are created.

    The use of the word DYNASTY in a different context simply shows that it has taken on a new meaning in the sports world. It just means that they have had a succesfull few years and they are now the team to beat.

  • Sportscasters are not licensed for metaphors...

  • Did I use that? I'll have to be more careful. I had tried for a couple of months to drop extra-grammatical uses of "like" from my speech. That proved difficult.
