"People of faith."

(With the attendant implication that those outside the acceptably narrow boundaries of "religion," necessarily aren't.)

"Dustbin"

Seriously, how much "dust" is in a modern trashcan?

"Trashcan" is the american name for this, and it fits far better. Who knows trash better than the americans, anyway?

"Trashbin" is acceptable I suppose ...

"narrative"

"paradigm"

- these words are usable sometimes, but look at the fecking way they are actually used, not least (but not only) on this board.

I don't agree with everything they say (even when I agree with next to nothing they say) but they have a point when they say...

be
being
been
am
is; isn't
are; aren't
was; wasn't

Contractions formed from a pronoun and a form of to be:
I'm
you're; we're; they're

E-Prime likewise prohibits contractions of to be found in nonstandard dialects of English, such as the following:

"speak to"

Just fuck off with that. It's inevitably cant and sanctimoniousness.

I thought it was derived: what do you > what do yuh > what d'yuh > what djuh > what cha. QED. See also 'So what'cha want' by the Beastie Boys. But anyway, does E-prime alter cognition in any provable way? Or should I just stick with bath salts LSD?
