I hope you enjoyed the self-congratulatory circle jerk you had with Dean Nelson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10384575.post-1170259553191558222007-01-31T11:05:00.000-05:002007-01-31T11:05:00.000-05:00The D's full of poor English. I wonder if they as...The D's full of poor English. I wonder if they ask the admissions office for everyone's SAT scores, and recruit from the people who got below 500 on either the SATII writing or the SATI language.<BR/><BR/>If you go to the D's website and run a search of D articles for the word "spurned." It produces 20 results, 7 of which use the word to mean the complete opposite of what it actually means.<BR/><BR/>Spurn means to reject, often with disdain or scorn. For example, it is not uncommon to refer to spurned suitors or spurned contract offers. The opposite of this is found in some uses of the words "spur" or "spawn," when they are used to refer to encouraging or generating stuff. 7 of the 20 results, use "spurn" in this latter sense.<BR/><BR/>Also, run a search for "struck a cord" (but without the quotes), "free reign" (with quotes), "irregardless", or any other common example of linguistic ignorance, and you'll get several hits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
