I was glad I read that article yesterday. I asked my wife to make a "sammich" today. When she told me that she couldn't because there is no such word I showed her that it's in the Oxford Dictionary. She told me to go make my own d@&% sammich.
She once asked me to take a roast from the freezer so it could "un-thaw." I told her that it already is "un-thawed" but I would be happy to place it on the counter to thaw. That was several years ago. Now she says it just to annoy me. If "un-thaw" or "de-thaw" wind up being accepted as real words my head will explode. Literally.
The grass is greener on the other side of the fence...and it's usually greenest right above the septic tank.
