Thread Name: Worst New Words in the 'English' Lang.
Subject: RE: Worst New Words in the 'English' Lang.
Hi All,

I guess I have to agree with much of what's been said here but the best point was made by GUEST,Hilary in NZ, and Homeless. English is an evolving and changing language. As long as it continues to evolve in this way it will continue to be the dominant language on the planet.

Still, some of the new words and uses of words are painful to encounter. There is one that gets me every time I drive by a video store. Why do we have to PRE-book a new videtape? If you book something aren't you reserving it? So what do are you doing when you pre-book something?
