AJTarpley The weather today is literally perfect. And no I'm not one of those clowns that uses 'literally' incorrectly.


Of course, he is from Minnesota, so just about anything above 36 deg. F is considered "perfect".

Isn't "literate Stanford ball player" redundant?

I think it would be ok to retire that word from conversation, whether used correctly or not.

This used to bug me and bring out my inner schoolmarm, but I read up on it and realized that maybe I was being pedantic (as is my wont).

In looking into it again upon seeing this thread, I saw this article which I found interesting and illuminating: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/the_g..._hate.html

I used to be very careful about using the word hopefully, but the author offers clearly as a parallel example and I've apparently been very cavalier with it. (For that matter, did I just misuse apparently? While we're at it, is it bad form to split one's present perfect or just one's infinitives?)

OK, I'm signing off before I give Kathy a migraine.  ;)
