THEY'RE JUST WORDS!!  You're as bad as the teenage girls I heard talking
about a book that has some adults concerned.  One of them said, "it's just
a book".  Sure, and if she reads it, she might find herself doing something
completely unexpected, like _thinking_!  She might even start using words
correctly.  When you start taking words for granted, there's no telling
what sort of cultural revolutions can occur :-)
