A paranormal link, too.
 
Isn't her apostrophe use correct? "CD's" means something that belongs to the CD. "CDs" means more than one CD.

I have noticed a tendency on this forum to use "bad" (an adjective) as a noun in place of "mistake". Is this an "in" thing to do on fora or is this a recent modification (note the polite word there) of the English language?

That would be "American English", to speakers of English English the term "my bad" grates like fingernails on a blackboard. Of course I am unreasonably sensitive in these matters.

Don't even get me started on turning nouns into verbs. mutters "to impact" for heavens sake

Edited to add at least a little punctuation
 
It's a trendy thing, I guess. I picked it up from watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer' which even I will admit is a terrible place to pick up language from.

But since "D'oh" has made it into the OED, I'm not going to feel bad about it.

Well, if Buffy said it then it's fine by me. ;)

In truth I'm with the Don on this one (and the use of language in general) although I am sure I do my fair share of mangling as well.

Knowing you've picked up those Buffy mannerisms is enough to make just about anyone feel wiggy...
 
Yes, it made me all wiggy*. Then for a while I was angsty* and avoidy*. The freakage* got really giganamous* when people got all Gene and Roger* to me. So can we get back to the topicage* at hand, namely the paranormal research videos?

Why can you not choose one version of your language and stick to it? Do you have any idea how confusing it is with different versions for us who do not have English as our first language? ;)

Well we can hardly be blamed for the unfortunate location of your birth and the tragic circumstances of your childhood ;)

It's only a matter of time before Swedish is more comprehensible to me than the current American English vernacular. "Two peoples divided by a common language" was never more appropriate

Grumpy "old" bu99er and proud of it
 
Damn.

I was going to make fun of the opening post but this thread has already drifted.

Shuffling off muttering something about, "paranormal spam."

I agree, verbing of nouns is annoying...

Remember, verbing weirds language. As do nouned verbs. And using words adjectivingly...I can't stand it. Since I can't use "adverb" as a conjunction, I think I'll stop here.

I once heard the American view stated as "You can verb any noun, but you can't noun all verbs". Ahem.
