catmag 336 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Champion, we'll keep it esoteric at the Trent 36652[/snapback] If I knew what the feck that meant I'd be able to reply 37573[/snapback] We're keeping it selective, dahhhhling. 37787[/snapback] Nah, selective would be 'eclectic'. Back to the dictionaries, Cath. 37812[/snapback] Eclectic also means ' a variety' shithead, so I didn't want to confuse you. 37917[/snapback] One of my pet peeves this one actually-the misuse of 'eclectic' Eclectic actually means selecting from various styles. Emphasis on the word select(ing)(ive) To illustrate by way of example-people often wrongly comment 'an eclectic mix'. 'Mix' would therefore be redundant in that sentence if you follow your logic as it's inclusion adds nothing to the sentence. Are you desperate to wipe the smile off my face yet............? Anyway as a lawyer one is very careful about language and uses it with fierce and forensic precision. As someone who once harboured dreams of becoming a journalist though cath I'm ashamed of you. Very sloppy stuff. In fact probably best you left well alone with hindsight. .......right...free lolly for the first person to call me a pedant (or a twat) before 11.30! 37928[/snapback] Twat.

Back to the dictionaries, Cath. 37812[/snapback] Don't listen to him, Cath - he thinks he invented the word lummox . If you want it to mean selective, then selective it is 37895[/snapback] Thats the truth actually. FACT! Just like if someone is unlucky, you say 'if he fell in a bucket of tits, he'd come out sucking his thumb!'. Thats mine too. I invented that and I have witnesses to prove it.
