Hi Michael,
While in theory, what you aver may be true, the examples we have been misusing
-
steep learning curve, quantum leap, negative feedback, vanilla - are all
capable of being
replaced by words that meet my triple dictum, simultaneously, and don't require
reference to abstruse dictionaries.
Brian.
Michael averred:
Sadly, those three attributes -- plain, simple, and correct -- are not always
easy
to define or agree on, and not always mutually compatible.
Michael Lewis
