MEH!
Oh Em Geeeeeeeeeeeee
I think that's a normal thing to do after so many weeks, months, years of using the given expression or word, it deserves a place in the dictionary.
I agree Cologne, language evolves all the time... It's just evolution
It's a triumph for stupidity over common sense. The world now bows in acknowledgement of the terminally stupid.
lol

It's not really. When I was still at home in Germany we used the word 'echt' an awful lot. It means 'genuine' and it became a word used in the druggy and peed people's word, so eventually, it became a word used by the populous. Now, very few people still use it and I was the butt of jokes when I went home 2 years ago and talked to people.
The point I was making Col is the English language has been bastardised and abbreviated to the point we may as well just give in and grunt at each other now and again in lieu of communication.

While I agree Prom, language has moved on a pace all it's live. I do understand the resitance while we are around, it will march on in it's own way despite us.
