feigning ignorance of his usage of the word, why? face the fact that you can't say ridiculous anymore. you have to say 'deserving of ridicule'. those damned kids have taken your word and made of it just another synonym where another synonym was unneeded. but as bruce hornsby would say, that's just the way it is | ||

Abusing the word 'ridiculous' is a bit of a pet peve of mine (as noted in my earlier blog), but I normally don't point it out when people do it because it's rather pointless to argue about language change. However, in this one instances the guy said 'ridiculous how many hot girls' implying that hot girls are bad, and I found this one particularly bad (I mean at least make an attempt not to come off as disliking hot girls) so I pointed it out. However, Nony just replied to me in a more general sense saying there is no point in giving him a hard time about his usage of the word, and especially not to come at it from an angle as though I don't realize why he used it the way he did. | ||

I think a words common usage definition is more important than it's dictionary definition, unless you're doing formal writing. | ||

Usually yes... but it's often difficult to determine things like whether or not a colloquial connotation is more predominant today than the denotation. | ||
