Advertising has ruined many of our words and concepts and made them meaningless. Especially the positive ones..

I'm passionate about David Mitchell.

Oh now you're just splitting hairs, you're acting as though English has actually DONE things to Greek when it's still its own language.
There's a difference between two countries where English is the native language but one has edited it, and where we've taken and edited words from a completely different language altogether that remains UNCHANGED within its own linguistic borders.
The two aren't even on the same orthographical system for Christ's sake.

@groinhat I had a dog who was passionate about my sofa, until we had him fixed.

Maybe it's the inclusion of the word 'English' in American english that has people annoyed when they don't agree with a word

@CheckersPerson If you say that cultural changes to language through time can be considered butchery, remember this: If the Americans butchered the queen's English, England raped, murdered, and then mocked the desiccated corpse of Greek. To take logos, and turn it into -logy, or efkaristo, and make it 'eucharist', or any of many other examples like this would seem to indicate that the British have no right to complain about language evolution.
Sincerely,
A Greek who is also a British citizen.

"good lord, they must be exhausted"
I've often been passionate on sofas, but never about them.
