Geoff, regarding Random832's response, in case you 
didn't already know, GWB is George W. Bush our 'esteemed'
President, who clearly says 'nucular'. But then...he's
from Texas.

One that I find absolutely unnerving is liberry for
library. How did anyone even come up with that? I
could see it if you were 5 years old, but by the
time you are 8 years, you should have outgrown it. 

Another thing that chafes my shorts it the creation
of fake words to try and either make yourself sound
more intelligent, or to obscure a point. These words
typically are normal words with '-ize', '-isation',
'-ate', or other equally pointless suffixes added.

Just ranting.
