Boy, howdy, I wish I had time to update this thing and really develop the ideas that I write about. But I don't! So instead, I hope these blurbs will give you a jumping-off point to discuss different ideas that I can't. I'll bring the genius, you bring the hardwork!

Very Unique

One of my pet peeves...
from http://gtotd.blogspot.com/2008/01/very-unique-please-kill-me-now.html

The word "unique" comes from the Latin word "unus," meaning one. E pluribus unum means "out of many, one."

Unique means "being the only one, being without like or equal." A person or thing is either unique or not. You can't be "very unique." You hear it all the time, but this expression doesn't reflect the uniqueness of the word unique.
