This is a very interesting article found and shared by Marian L. Thorpe. As many of you know I love words. I post quite a bit about old and weird words so this article of modern words from A-Z that may be the ruin of the English Language as we know it. I agree that languages are always evolving but at the same time… those words replacing more eloquent language isn’t always the best.
Anyways if you are interested in learning more about this horrible word list check out the link below. 🙂
A link to a timely article for all writers from the Guardian. I admit to ‘alright’ being one of my pet peeves, but I’ve bowed to common usage in my reviewing and stopped commenting on it. I still wouldn’t write it, though….

I think it depends on the situation, context, purpose, etc. Why are we using words? Language is mostly about communication (unless someone is a calligraphy freak). Sometimes we have to be simple. Other times complicated. So I like the old and the new. But not all… “yada yada” ‘aint one of my favs. I agree with the piece there. 🙂
