[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 152286, member: 1640"] Except that the word as an adjective is not found to be standard in most commonly accepted dictionaries. I am willing to accept that we are well on the way to making it a word due to its shear volume of use but I just wonder why use of the word in this way has accelerated so rapidly in the last few years. I also remember that everyone knew it was incorrect grammar to add "at" to the phrase of "where something is," since, at best the "at" is understood and it is redundant to add it. At worst we end up with absurd sounding possibilities like, "The boy asked his teacher where to put the at at in the sentence." I digress. Point is that saying "where something is at" in certain grammatical constructions is also widely practiced and accepted when it used to not be even though I find no evidence (yet) that it is considered standard. I ain't gonna worry about it though. ;) [/QUOTE]
