| I know the guy's work (and once saw him at a Marx Bros fringe show), so I'm not surprised, but if he says Usage outweighs origin or prescription I'd presume he goes the other way....I'll bet he tries to use "literally" in its prescriptive sense too. The question is whether it's worth correcting others who don't. I don't think his opinion is going to settle that one... |
