| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 11/25/20 at 02:19 PM Chris. I completely empathize. We live in strange linguistic times. There are words that get my goat, words like SUPER, which is used when making reference to things like men, markets and football games and more things than I care to mention. Even words like NEW, such as New York New England, New Zealand ( where was old Zealand, I wonder.? ) New Hampshire, Nova Scotia, New New, New, I mean all these places are no longer new, but old as the hills, which leaves me to wonder where the new hills are.? Whatever happened to a person, place or thing having its own unique name? |
