DIE, ENGLIUSH, DIE!

It's 5:39 a.m., Patrick crawled into bed with Junior, it's 73 degrees out and humid and dark.

One of the things that separates us from the animals is our Language. It is what allows us to think abstractly and communicate difficult subjects like philosophy or quantum physics. But certain foolish elements in our society are allowing our language to deteriorate into a gutteral slang fit only for monkeys. MSM is one of the big criminals in this activity." Preventative Maintenance" has long been one of my biggest irritants. And of course "irregardless" is on the top of anybody's list that realizes that English is being methodically reduced to the common denominator suitable for idiots. The latest ridiculousness takes the form of "warrantee" used as a verb or used to mean "guarantee". Who is the idiot ad-man who thunk this up? And who are the evil sheep-monsters who followed his lead? "The company will warantee this product.." NOT! The word they're so desparately searching for is simply "warrent". Warantee is the PERSON to whom you GIVE the warrant or warranty. Did some genius Ad-Man make this up and figure "our customers will fall for this new word assuming it's somehow newer and better than "guarantee". Or was he just an illiterate Boob? These are the same kind of morons that steal millions of dollars from honest folks because they try to drive and drink hot coffee at the same time, or want to sue gun manufacturers because some criminal shot them...I tell you true, I am living in a world I did not make, inhabited by twilight-zone zombie people....And, unfortunatly, that's the way it is....-30-
