Oh stop it. The term is now widely recognized to mean far more than 10%; such as “almost all”!
You stop it. What it means is that people use words incorrectly. If you don’t think words are important, you write a contract where I pay you $1 million dollars and after you’ve signed it, let me legally change just on word in the contract. If one word doesn’t matter, you should have no issue with that.
Sgthooper, you are correct... But only amongst the poorly educated and intellectually lazy. May I make a guess, you also believe gay means homo and liberal mean leftist. Words have morning and see misused by Communism for there own ends. Please pray attention.
May you have an unbad day.
“The term is now widely recognized to mean far more than 10%; such as ‘almost all’!”
That’s the trouble with “now widely recognized”. Doing a wrong thing often enough will desensitize the population and wrong becomes right — abracadabra. How about people just saying the true and correct thing to begin with instead of bastardizing the English language?
