I don't even understand what it means. What is "a semantic"? As far as I know, |
| 7 |
"semantic" is an adjective, "relating to meaning, especially of words" to |
| 8 |
quote Chambers which I happen to have to hand. |

Much confusion is caused by people continually inventing new ways of using |
| 12 |
words with insufficient thought to how they would fit into the existing |
| 13 |
structure. Like "momentarily" for example, which in the current American usage |
| 14 |
is not related to "momentary". Sometimes I wish the language were still in the |
| 15 |
care of academics. |
