Had to look up “reflexive” and found my own personal irritation: the definition stated it “refers back”, so obviously verbose! “Refers” is fine on its own, “refers back” is like saying “back back”! Mrs. Christensen of high school English beat that one into my head sufficiently that now I’s remember it! đŸ€Ł ---

> [@allison](#): > > This post keeps driving me batty every time someone adds a comment to it. FYI - it’s daylight saving time, NOT “savings”! I think that’s because AP defers to English, not American, usage. I never heard the plural of “saving” (which is a mass noun I think in English, so no plural) until I came to the US and, yep, it’s really weird to an english speaker. Like, why is there more than one? Whatever. John Bowler, native. ---

Oh interesting insight! It’s like when people say “attorney generals” - it’s actually “attorneys general” etc. Things just don’t sound quite right once you know why they are wrong 😉 ---

What about the incorrect use of the word “literally”? _“When she heard it, she literally lost her head!”_ When you hear something like that, it’s fun to reply with an actual literal interpretation in place of a figurative one! _“So her head became decapitated, and she was no longer able to locate her severed body-part? Perhaps someone turned in her dismembered skull at the lost-and-found?”_ đŸ€” ---

> [@Eric](#): > > What about the incorrect use of the word “literally”? It isn’t incorrect, but it is considered irregular or colloquial in standard English, which means you’re free to use it in speech or FUD posts, but if you put it in your nonfiction manuscript, an editor would likely remove it. Its use as “pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis” (Webster’s) goes back to the mid-1700s; Dickens and Mark Twain both used it, among many others. Oxford notes that is now one of the most common uses of the word, further evidence, if we needed any, that English is constantly, and gloriously, evolving. ---

> [@Beacher](#): > > . Oxford notes that is now one of the most common uses of the word, further evidence, if we needed any, that English is constantly, and gloriously, evolving. I have no issue with English evolving, but it’s all my Mother fault. “What’s this word mean, Mom?” Not just look it up in the dictionary that she would hand you, but you had to read aloud more than the definition but the derivation. Then there might be a discussion as to how that relates to the current use of the word today. The word that makes me cringe is the use of decimate to mean destroyed. Why not use destroyed as deci (10) mate means to reduce by 10%. I blame Mom, but I think she would’ve got a kick out of Cockney Rhyming Slang. If a Brit calls an American Septic. That’s from Septic Tank, tank rhymes with Yank. The others I know are not as polite. ---

Here’s another analog. # Too old for the e-bike — Why Werner decided to start riding analogue again at 65! An analogue is something that represents the motion of a reality. My me powered bicycles are not analogues they are the real deal. For that matter e-bikes may have digital controllers but the bikes are neither digital or analog. ---

@CarlosLuis, It’s kind of like the term “virtual race”. I really dislike that term. If you are actually running the distance, it does not matter that you are doing it at a different location than other people. It’s real, not virtual. A virtual race would be if you were sitting on a couch with a 3D headset on your head, and pushing buttons to simulate running!
