Then what do you call what happens at 0:23? That's a classic move.

That is an ingenious and beautiful concept for a clock.

@Nile -- are you referring to the URL? Yes, that still says "plant names", but I'm not going to change that because doing so would disrupt any links to this post.

Okay, I see your point, Katiekatiekatie. I'll change the headline.

Yes, it is incorrect.

I'm currently reading Zinsser's On Writing Well. He's of two minds on the subject of colloquialisms: they're useful and expressive, but also abusive of the language at times.

Changes in word usage are a matter of taste. I dislike the adoption of "up" as verb and "reveal" as a noun, but they've gained popular and lexicographical acceptance.

I use "awesomer" and "awesomest" at Neatorama, though I know that they're not sound words. I certainly wouldn't use them in formal, academic writing.

Oops! Fixed now. Thanks, ted.

I don't think that my headline is misleading. If I had said "abandon" instead of "turn away", then yes. But this move does constitute turning away from a focus on Latin.
