Bad new English I just watched a commercial for Gain, and they used a "new" word, "Gooder". Something like..."If U want a gooder day, try Gain..." YUCK! Why do people insist on bastardizing our language? If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in! | |

Well, i'm a Brit, and i have never heard "gooder" being used for any of those things.
The only time i have ever heard "gooder" being used is in the phrase "do gooder," which basically means someone who helps a lot, someone who does the right thing.
As for bad English, take a look around the forums on the org, the internet generation have awful spelling, grammer and punctuation. People whom English is not their first language at least have that as an excuse, the rest should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
*spelling edit.

I agree a certain amount of conservation is in order to retain the dignity of languages. But it sounds to me like the commercial writers were just having fun here. In no way do I imagine "good/better/best" is threatened by the playful "good/gooder/goodest." [Edited 3/10/11 7:50am] Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Don't get me started! My peeps are notorious for this mess. A prime example is "conversate." When I first heard that NONWORD used, I fuggin cringed! [Edited 3/10/11 11:12am] | |

Its not bout language, its bout advertising. Gain used it cause they knew it was not a real word. It got the attention of you and millions of others. You remember the commercial, you remember the brand , you remember the name.
Success!!!! The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. | |
