Sometimes – frequently, really – I come across a word usage, a statement, an argument which grates and I am peeved by it.
Often there is a misuse of a word, a misinterpretation, a twisting, a “spin”. Usually there is something illogical about it.
So thought I would comment on this.
I will try to quote a definition garnered from the Web because that’s the easiest place to get one from.
