This is a big pet peeve of mine: changing the meaning of a word via faulty comparisons so much that the true meaning of the word gets diluted. An example, to me, would be of comparisons of Bush or Clinton to Hitler. Neither are remotely close the being like the worst dictator we’ve seen in modern history. Yet people on both sides of the aisle still routinely make the claim.
How, you might ask? Why, you make the Iraq war morally equivalent to the Holocaust, that’s how!
What I had hoped would be an exciting experience in homebuying turned very sour for me in the month of September. The builders and I had some disagreements that could not be ironed out, the biggest among them some deception on the part of the original seller who is no longer with the company in terms of verbal promises made to me. I learned the hard way to always always always get a seller/builder’s promises in *writing* or it’s pretty much worthless. That is a mistake I won’t make the second time around.
