Words that don't mean what most of us think they mean.

I wrote an article on my business blog about words that don't mean what people think they do.... find it here.  After writing it, I noticed someone found my blog using this search string in Google  "Another word that means I".  Naturally, I had no clue what they were looking for, so... I did the same search.  I found something on cracked.com that talks about 9 words that we all use that don't mean what we think they do.  Here's the full article.

"The English language is under assault by stupid people who use words they don't understand, and is defended by pompous asses who like to correct those people. We're not sure who to side with."

This quote is how the article begins, just a warning, it has some.... adult language and ideas in it... not for the kiddies if you get my drift.
