Note to Keith: saying "meme" a lot doesn't make you intelligible.
Question to Mike: do you really mean "intelligible," or did you mean "intelligent?" I don't want to assume that this was a "Bushism," (as in "functionable" for "functional") but, I don't really understand your criticism. Then again, it wasn't aimed at me, it was aimed at Keith.
I can imagine that one might want to take someone to task for trying to sound "intelligent" by using a slightly arcane word like "meme," but "intelligible?" In my experience, people don't go around trying to make themselves sound more "intelligible," except for the fine folks I've worked with in radio and video who do voice-overs, where being "intelligible" is stock in trade.
And no, I don't have hard data to back up "my experience." :-)
