Link of the Day: Be mindful of pretend verbosity
This article regarding businesses' tendency to create new words amused me. Then I realized for the past year my friend group had been doing the exact same thing described in this article. Except we'd been tacking on -ish to the end of words. Personally I feel adding -ish is much more fun and I highly recommend it over -ful.

I liked that article but especially when the author described these new words as "inbred mutant adjectives!"
Fact: When languages stop being ridiculous, they die; the society crumbles around them. The consequences are incalcalalble.
