Obama is hardly a usageaster, especially evident after his army corpseman comment.

Ugh.

Glass of wine helps prevent a case of whining.

I’ve heard, “You’s a geezer” before, but I didn’t think it was just one word.

What a great handle that would make!

Say, isn’t there someone called “spelling grammar police” or some such?

The “journalists” on TV need a usageaster
Their linguistic mistakes are a complete disaster
“Between he and I”
Makes me shout to the sky
Any moron who can read can be a newscaster

From englishforums.com:

1980 T. Clark in Amer. Speech LV. 132 We can help such people overcome their insecurity by making a clear distinction between usageasters and usage experts. Useageaster is my term, formed on analogy with poetaster.

My buddy and I went Canadian Goose hunting. I had double barrel ten gauge and he had a 12 gauge with magnums. I fired twice and got my limit. He shot twelve times and got nothing. I said let’s go, I’m wet and cold. He said “I don’t understand. I’m a good shot.” I said next “Next time, usageaster.” Thank you, thank you. Don’t forget to tip me.
