    I get cheesed off every time I hear people describe something as “very unique.” It’s not just that uniquity is not a modifiable condition. The phrase is even worse than Malapropisms like “for all intensive purposes.” Like fingernails on blackboard.

    More gratifyingly, it provides me with an opportunity to channel my inner asshole and leap to the defense of the English language, which is about all the exercise I get these days.
