>>Interesting op ed piece from Steven Pinker the language guru in the times
yesterday. he points out that malapropisms don't bother us much because in
reality we all make them. everyone knows what bush means so they ignore the
goofs. this may or may not be good according to Pinker but it is reasonalbe
given that all human speach is filled with these ramblings.<<
Speach? <G>
Our Prime Minister is at least as bad as Bush - A local radio staion has
collected some of his malapropisms and put them into a parody song called
"Campaign" (sung to the tune of Eric Clapton's "Cocaine"). I was hoping
they'd put it on the website, but I don't see it there. If you listen to
the live feed in our evening drive time (3 - 7 PM PST), you are almost
certain to hear it. The site is at http://www.rock101.com.
