"He goes", "she goes", "they go"; but no one goes anywhere. Because enough people used the word goes incorrectly for a long enough period of time, the goes that means says goes into Webster's Dictionary - and there goes our language.
When I wasn't looking, the adjective "pretty" morphed into a noun, a verb AND an adverb; and they all got into the dictionary. Pretty is as pretty does - noun. Pretty yourself up - verb. Pretty soon - adverb. If people were more careful how they used words, pretty would still be just another pretty word.
The word very isn't slang and it isn't used incorrectly, but it's been used so much it's become hackneyed. If an adjective isn't preceded by very, it's like a retired boxer who's lost his punch.
However, miniscule sounds much smaller than very small; colossal sounds much bigger than very big; and although antiquated means very old, it sounds older.
"Have a nice day" is an example of a hackneyed expression. It's a nice thought; but it's been used so much, it's become synonymous with good bye. It's lost its niceness.
"Just a second" is not only hackneyed, it's also highly improbable. Who can do anything in a second? Saying "Just a minute" might be improbable too, but you're sixty times more likely to be accurate.
Accuracy is in the dictionary; but unfortunately, it's slipping from our language. Nevertheless, there is a good word about words. Not all illegitimate words have been legitimized by Webster's.
My 2002 edition defines "postal" as relating to mail or post offices. It does NOT define it as relating to someone who has suddenly gone crazy. That definition of postal comes from common usage. It's not a new word. Mad originally meant insane; but because of common usage, it's been demoted to angry.
A coined word is a new word and I've coined one. My word replaces the often misused "unbelievable". If you are aware of something with one or more of your senses or if you trust the source of your information, it can't be unbelievable.
What it can be is "hardtobelievable". If enough people use my word for a long enough period of time, hardtobelievable might get into the dictionary - but I'm not sure Grandmother would be proud.
Litigation, or a lawsuit, is sometimes the only avenue that a person has left to right the wrongs that are done to them. "Who here hasn't heard of the O.J. case?" Sometimes a good attorney or law firm may be the only thing that stands between a person and true justice.
The first this that a person has to know is that they don't have to put up with it. Whether it is sexual or racial discrimination you have a right to be treated fairly. These types of offenses come most frequently in the workplace or other socially public areas where a person has the right to be treated on a basis consistent with others. What about when someone cheats you out of money, or doesn't hold to a contract that they promised you? Any time that you are treated unfairly you have the right to protect yourself and your wellbeing.
That's why we are here in America, to have a place to stand for the liberties that we deserve as human beings. Who has heard of the major corporations who have intentionally misled people and caused them physical harm, or even death.
The main problem is that people forget that they can do something about it, and they don't have to be rich to fight back against the big boys. Large companies and corporations think that they can bully you around. They think that they can force you to buy certain products even when they are defective or harmful. They think they can trick you by putting harmful or addictive chemicals into products, and that you are not sharp enough to ever say anything, or especially do something about it.
Has anyone heard about the tobacco lawsuits? The tobacco companies appear to have added harmful and addictive chemicals into their cigarettes for years, and seemed to target their marketing campaigns toward children so that they could guarantee an addicted customer for a longer period of time. Meanwhile people all over the world were dying from the effects of smoking. A civil litigation was brought against the big tobacco companies and they are still paying. They even have to pay for advertisements against their products. They had to pay each state n the union to assist in education about the after effects of smoking, and to attempt to pay back those that they tricked and the families of those killed. It all got started because someone spoke up and said that they would not put up with it anymore.
Don't let them run over you. In fact it is your right that no one should be allowed to take advantage of you. Now, you need the education and tools to make sure that you can stand up for yourself.
