Going back to this one, overwhelmed means nothing either its a waste of over. Whelmed and overwhelmed mean exactly the same thing But language develops, that's all good, now we have under and overwhelmed which have replaced whelmed and not whelmed in common usage. I'm fine with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with that There are people out there that think that "they" can't be a singular pronoun where traditionally it was used as a singular. And people that think "you" is acceptable as a singular pronoun instead of "thou". A certain kind of person seems to get upset by the first, but not the second. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's hardly what I'd describe as good speaker of English, in fact it's down to him and his ilk that these nonsensical words creep into use. Football commentator words is the perfect description of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
