Subject: RE: BS: 'Majorities' that aren't.
That's what I was thinking, Steve. Has the misuse of majority followed the misuse of decimation into becoming accepted usage?

The same goes for fulsome, as in "he made a fulsome apology", which ought to imply that no real apology at all was actually made.
