Word usage
Kevin Drum makes an interesting observation on people's misuse of words. Which leads to nice piece from Kieran as well.
Both of which remind me of how my Dad would correct me in the use of 'voici' as opposed to 'voila'. While I'm peeved when people misuse 'loose' when they mean 'lose', the folks that use 'waa laa' instead of 'voila' make me want give them a slap upside the head.
