We’re not slaves to words. Words mean whatever meaning people give to them, and that meaning comes through their use. It’s part of how some words’ meanings eventually become archaic, right?

It’s one thing to get upset about people out-and-out incorrectly a word, particularly when it’s a misuse that’s not shared with any sort of critical mass of speakers, but when everyone’s using a word in a way that you feel dilutes the word’s meaning, deal with it. Maybe that word’s changing a little. For better or worse (better), language ain’t static.

Also in this day and age, it is stronger to avoid using the word “amazing”. It’s a big fad now and it is becoming meaningless.

Keep up the excellent work.

Recently I began reading your new book and I just loved it. It has helped me figure out what I could do with my google wave invite.

As soon as some of my friends get their invites I’ll try to use it as a collaboration tool, like your video says, for homeworks and college stuff.

Thanks for the guidance.
