Derb finds it “charming” that people who mean to say “I couldn’t care less” say “I could care less.” Is it similarly charming that people say “enormity” in reference to size, rather than degree of wickedness?

Because they do, and they’re wrong, and over time it will become common usage.

Perhaps future expats will be similarly charmed by “that’s a whole ‘nother thing,” a misusage that I notice gaining in popularity and which frequently makes me want to drive off the road when I hear it said by callers on talk radio.

As for nitpicking, Jim Belushi gives a weekly award on our stage to the nitpickiest writer of the week, chosen on the basis of who gave him the most notes designed to get him to say the lines as originally written. So, Derb, you’re in good company calling me names.
