Dear Faldage: Blessings be upon you. The word usage site there ought be mined by many members to produce interesting posts and replies. I particularly like the discussion of "decimate" which gave percentages of reponses by a pane of experts.
I'll try to choose some potentially interesting ones to discuss, and wistfully wish that others would do likewise.
