Few Q's


Well if kids weren't stupid and weren't reinventing languages, we would still be speaking Latin. I wouldn't dig.
There's a difference between using new words to express things that didn't exist or modifying existing words to give a broader or more specific use, and taking an existing and very common word and using it to mean it's exact opposite. :p Especially when the expression they're trying to convey already has a perfectly good word, such as when people use "literally" when they mean "figuratively", or "ironic" when they mean "coincidental".


Plus I was joking. ;)
