I guess I'm getting old. Listening to local weather tonight I wonder when
the word "tempcher" came into being and when adjectives & adverbs as
interchangeable became the norm ("the car was going by slower").
I know, I know. I've posted similar complaints before. And I know, I know,
morphing of language, descriptive rather than descriptive grammar,
pronunciation, etc. But it still grates. And makes Austen sound more and
more like
music.
