Alan Weiss' The Uncomfortable Truth

SHOW NOTES: “No worries” doesn’t mean “you’re welcome” it means “You didn’t bother me all that much.” “Perfect” doesn’t mean “thank you” it means “You got that right and didn’t waste still more of my time.” “You guys” is terribly inappropriate if the people addressed are not entirely “guys,” and is most misused by women, especially women in the media. “February” and “library” each have two “r’s” in them, or the first is not a month and the second is some kind of fibbing fruit on a vine. These usages are all square pegs attempting to fill round holes, and they’re battered by people who just can’t pass the test. “No worries,” you guys weren’t “perfect.”
