Sadly, no. Nor is "entitled."Marter said:So, is "epic" finally having its usage cut down?
So your response to something that isn't taken serious is to take it really serious and tell them to relax...Mr.Pandah said:Oh please. I hope that every year they use this list as a way to relax from whatever else they're up to but if they don't...dear god. Some people are just so uptight about everything that they'll always have something to complain about. I love the word awesome, I've never heard someone use baby bump and occupy hasn't been used as much as they're being led to believe.

Honestly, Englishmen do not speak the same as they did 300 years ago. Why do you except all the land you acquired back then to change their manner of speaking every time you do?

After all, at the end of the day we all just speak terribly incorrect Latin.MelasZepheos said:Why is an American University saying anything about the English language?
