Recently I came across the words "uncountless" and "impopularity" in a post right here at CBn. Puts me in mind of a preview article in an issue of the V comic book series back in 1985, wherein it was written: "Diana is unrelentless in her pursuit of the resistance" (Italics theirs). Choose a prefix or a suffix and stick with it, people.
And whatever happened to the word 'fewer,' as in: '"It's sounding like they're hiring less teachers this year," said U of M education student Heidi Dirks, a history and geography specıalıst who went to Fort Richmond Collegiate.' Not an English major, I notice.
Of course, one need look no further than the former leader of the Free World for inspiration (as my sparring partner above may have done):
"They misunderestimated me."
"And they have no disregard for human life."
"I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office."
"The French don't even have a work for entrepreneur."
"I've created lots of new words, like "misunderstanding."
And, the all-time winner:
"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."
Of course, it's not just Bush:
"We're making sure there are plenty of issues for the next election" - Sarah Palin
