Since i read that article (it was on a magazine), i try to don't use 
this kind of aliases and to pay more attention on what i'm doing.
I found what i was really meaning:

Somewhere i read that an alias should never be an alias of itself,

alias mv='mv -vi'
alias cal='cal -3m'  # week starts on Monday
and I'm sure I got this idea from some reputable Unix books.  This way
rm always asks *except* when you use -f.
It works for sure, because somewhere i use it too.

Um, no, you haven't.  If rm is aliased to 'rm -i' in root's environment,
it should have prompted.  Unless he neglected to mention that he
actually did 'rm -rf' ...
