It ISN'T "PIN NUMBER", because PIN stands for Personal Identification Number, so saying PIN number is saying Personal Identification Number number, and VIN is "Vehicle Identification Number", so to say "VIN number" is saying Vehicle Identification Number number!!!!! AAAAGGGHHHH!!!!

Not that long ago a person would say I'm up with that meaning they are in agreement with it or thumbs up. And if you said that you was down with that meant you did not agree or thumbs down. Over the last few years I have noticed and a lot more lately that when someone says they are down with somthing they are meaning they are in agreement with it. Maybe that they can get down with it?

I'm lost when did it all change?

People always say "empathetic", but I do not see it in my American Heritage Dictionary. I do see "empathic" as the adjective for "empathy". This is a pet peeve of mine! Now, you might say "well, sympathy/sympathetic and empathy/empathetic sounds about right", but I really think it is a mistake. I do not believe "empathetic" is a real word, but is used so much that it is becoming slang.
