Did you ever notice that certain DUI offenders in Ohio are forced to get maize license plates. Fitz is from Youngstown so maybe he was just going the extra mile to get a Wolverine license plate and didn't know they don't have the special plates in Michigan yet?

Haha
There is a blog called Maize and Brew...very misleading. In all seriousness, those Ohio license plates are for 3 time offenders. To me, that begs the question: "Why is someone reissued a driver's license if they have 3 DUIs?"

The party plates are up to the judge's discretion.... first time offenders can get them too... A guy at work claims he got his for wreckless operation and that incident had nothing to do with alcohol. I don't care that much to see if he's telling the truth.
No questions were begged.
I clicked on it... I regretted it immediately...
SonofaBuckeye...don't be a sonofab!+ch. Were you unable to decipher my statement because of a commonly misused technicality? Next time I'll be sure to phrase it as "It raises the question..."

The term is used like hail did so often it need amended to include his usage as well, everyone does it. Just like everything in the English language, it is evoloving and changing based on how people USE it. Just as your article says, it is just another "I hate change" pet peeve. It is acceptable to use the way Hail did, no one really talks in logical philosophy anyways so who cares?
It's true. Language is often amended to conform with modern use. Kind of like this:

SCOTT, nice reference todrive home the point... literally
Now you have to punch yourself in the face again.
This isn't a Michigan forum. We have standards.

SONOFABUCKEYE, sorry, but you are wrong about this. You are being nitpicky on a commonly used term that now has multiple meanings. Drop you in America 50 years ago and you would sound like an utter fool using words and phrades that weren't used that way prior.
Technically, SonOfABuckeye is right, but enough people are misusing the term that grammarians have given up. Similar to the "nuclear"/"nucular" pronunciation argument. "Nucular" is wrong, but... screw it.

Are we saying that any word/phrase that didn't originally have that specific meaning can't "technically" be used in that way then? Does everyone then realize that all the words we use are an offshoot because of misuse from another time and place? Nothing you just said would be even mildly correct in Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, or even most of the life of Modern English.

Scott, you mean you are LITERALLY going to punch yourself in the face right?
He's seriously gonna punch himself in the face... literally... but it begs the question, why?
No, I just hate that literally now also means figuratively.

"...that weren't used that way prior." This here is an OSU blog...we spell that last word "PRYOR"...at least we used to...prior to last year.

Funny thing, I actually thought the same thing as I was typing the word! Oops! HAHA!
@Scott
That is fine, it is an ironic way of using the word. But you said he was technically right soo.... did you mean that literally or literally ?
Yes that's right. I'm a deadender like one of those soldiers hiding for decades in the Mindanao jungles, waiting for the Emperor's orders.
