Ginormous is Now a Real Word

By no means am I grammar nazi or a proscriptionist. Language is how it is used. If enough people say nukular then that is how it is pronounced (or at least an acceptable pronunciation). And so on.

But that doesn't prevent me from thinking that certain utterances make the utterer sound pretty darn stupid.

There I agree - and thank the dynamic nature of my language that while some people can use such annoying words and phrases, I've a vast thesaurus to choice words more to my own liking - even if does make me a pretentious snob.
