Reply #43: Yes, it saddens me greatly. I used to like it a lot. I used to use it a lot. [View All]

But after all the years of seeing the word utterly abused I've stopped using it. It's become worthless because everyone uses it to mean whatever they want it to mean.

I'd love to see a consenus definition arrived at, but I don't see that ever happening.

I'm not with you on the post deletion thing, however. My own preference would be that everyone who uses the word be compelled to include *their* definition of what it means -- and if they won't, THEN delete their post. :D
