Oct. 11th, 2006 03:45 amOK, I usually put stuff like this on my impersonal blog-style LJ, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spread_word, but I'm going to put these out here to the universe because no one EVER reads the other LJ. Someone might actually see them here.
I understand that language morphs. But it bugs me to see brand and band names become substitutes for the "real thing," word-wise. Thus, I hereby inform the LJ universe that the word "ludicrous" is not spelled like Ludacris the singer (whose given name has a Chris in it, get it?) And also, to "segue" is to transition from one topic to another, and a Segway is a moving scooter whose dorkiness was perfectly illustrated by Gob in Arrested Development.
I've always been a frustrated English teacher. Ever since first grade, when I corrected the teacher's spelling of the word "vacuum" as she wrote out the 4th-grade spelling words of the day on the chalkboard. I can't help it. I mean no harm.
