Thanks for all the excellent answers. Very informative.
You did so well with those, I thought I'd pose a few tougher questions that
have been perplexing me:
1. Does evil exist, or is it simply the absence/perversion
of good?
2. Why do we use the term workoholic? Alcoholics are
addicted to alcohol, but there is no such thing as
workohol. Shouldn't we say "workic"?
3. Why do people say, "Everything that glitters is not
gold?" This is not true. Some things that glitter are,
in fact, gold. Shouldn't we say, "Not everything that
glitters is gold."?
3. Why do people say "I could care less?" Doesn't this
imply that they do care and could, in fact, reduce
the amount of concern they have. Shouldn't we say,
"I couldn't care less."? Isn't that what we really
mean?
Just wondering.
