I couldn't agree more with the author. Some of the above comments seem to think that just because a phrase orset of letters is said, that somehow makes a word. Rules exist for order. I wonder if they know what the opposite of order is? Great article! I couldn’t agree more with the author.

I am an autistic, and I have had enough of many people using that word in any form - it really grinds my gears here. Oh, and SD Speirs, I agree with you on the OMG and WTF bit - I just can't believe that ignorant teens have to respectively abbreviate taking the Lord's name in vain and cussing!

However, there seems to be a huge misconception here; there is no such thing as official words, if a 'set of sounds' (commonly called words) can be used to communicate between any two people talking in the same language, than its quite definitly a proper word (in other words, not only Irregardless and alot has become correct english (though I try to stop myself from using it), but also PIN number and ATM machine can be counted as correct words). And on a side note, your comment on "What would Jesus do?" doesn't make much sense. Regardless from what one believes about Jesus, there is enough 'information' to be capable of creating a fair impression of what Jesus would do.

I hate how people use it. And redundant phrases like PIN number and ATM machine; I've been waiting for somebody else to comment on that. But could the word hate also be misused? I *hate* having to cook dinner. You don't hate it, you dislike it; if you hated it you would find the money to eat out. “Retard” or “Retarded” – HEAR HEAR!! I hate how people use it.
