There is no hope for me, I'll only replace these annoying words with others when I get bored!Rianna Rowsellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-77711944364607112452011-04-08T09:35:44.097+08:002011-04-08T09:35:44.097+08:00Yeah I think you're right, Michael.

To mnay people today, awesome probably just means it is good.<br /><br />I'll change the blog banner on my 5th blogoversary in June :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193896306650823769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-48187553311407717122011-04-07T13:22:54.038+08:002011-04-07T13:22:54.038+08:00Michael Hunt is quite right.

But even I get overrolled by that "hype" and find myself saying it at times (and, at least, meaning men, like, get your car outta my face, Alter!)... ;-)Iris Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11147576380055530230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-22414062355364946612011-04-06T13:39:12.610+08:002011-04-06T13:39:12.610+08:00Isn't this just one of many examples of words ...Isn't this just one of many examples of words having a technical meaning and a common meaning that can be quite different from each other. Eg, My mums name is Gay wich had quite a different meaning in the 50's than what it does today. Language is after all an evolving thing and given that we are creating more and more new words everyday it is understandable that sometimes old words get repurposed with new meanings.<br /><br />I do understand you peeve that good technical meanings are lost when words are wrongly used. Think about the technical meaning of the word Christian (one who is life Christ) and how differently people understand the term today.<br /><br />Anyhow I'll finish off by saying that your blog is 'prose of stimulating value to its readers' :-)<br /><br />P.S. Will you be putting up a pic of the Kojonup digs to replace your current banner on the blog?Michael Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286242302404319703noreply@blogger.com
