in most of your posts, including this one, you seem to have trouble distiqishing between manner of expression and content.
you regularly dismiss content with comments that are related to syntax, vocab etc.
that's not what reasoned, logical sentient beings do - your comments are merely and exercise in the sententious!!!
kate's expression may not sophisticated (and certainly not pompous) but her content is reasonably sound given the levels set for conversation in the house. if you want pretentious philosophising switch off bb and watch the late show.
and plese (see other threads) stop criticising others in this forum because they have not absorbed the entire contents of the oed.
p.s. i think you'll find that 'slang' is gaining much currency and that most theories on the philosophy of language and logic argue tht the evolution of the spoken/written word is an anthropological inevitability, indeed necessity.
move with the times.
