Grammar fascism #1

No, I’m very very sorry, but there is no such word as ironical.

I don’t care if it’s listed in the OED; people who insist on using it need to be lined up with those who repeatedly order flat white coffees and shot at dawn.

Am getting flashbacks to the argument I had to have with the person responsible for developing the English for business course at this here University, that the use of the word confliction by some airhead Big Brother contestant was not an example of language being dynamic, it was an example of idiocy.

Confliction is not dynamic language because conflict is already a perfect good word expressing the same thing. Simiarly, the existence of the word ironic renders ironical entirely superfluous, hence the aforementioned shooting at dawn.

I get paid for this. I should know.

I think i can make opening the mail into a three hour task.
If i slowly open with the letter opener…
slide out contents…
stamp on date nice and neatly…

Task can be extended by holding envelope to forhead before opening and attempting to intuit contents.

Task could be extended exen further by holding envelope to forhead and trying to inuit contents. “I will not move until this envelope is wearing a seal skin and smells like blubber.”
