LOL - I'm fascinated by this linguistic deconstruction thing - there's a
fine line between 'common useage' and just talking bollocks. My personal
bug-bear at the moment is people who say 'literally' when they mean exactly
the opposite - 'he was driving at literally 300 miles an hour'... grrrrr.
Kim, you really ought to take up German, it's a far more specific language
than english, you'd be able to sleep at night then... :o)
right, I'm off, I'm literally starving to death and really anxious to find
something to eat...
