Dear Sasha,
Applying is one matter; enforcement is another. For that reason, I think that the word "apply" in your post falls into this category: "Meaningless words"
Regards,

Dear Johnslat
All depends on what 'meaning' means. Not as straightforward as one might think.
Anyway, how about "Sasha's Criterion applies - even to you!" ?

Dear Sasha,
My goodness, do I see two fragments and a missing comma? Tsk, tsk

Dear Johnslat
Not sure if you do. Do you? Depends on the kind of drink that has been taken, but I know yours wouldn't be the hard stuff. I know I can barely see the clavier in front of me, never mind the key for the comma.
Or, we could just be dancing the 'style-guide' tango again. Hic.
Hic!

Whether George Orwell would like it or not, many of the words he deplored at the time have well and truly entered the English language. I think however that his general outlook is still valid. |
