homework

well, the first thing i'd like to point out is that alot of words change meanings or even thier spelling over time. this can be either caused by useing the specific word differently or incorrectly but catching on. an example being the word "literal" meaning "takeing words in thier usual or most basic sense without metaphore or exaggeration". now (or at least its what i've heard) the meaning of the word has changed so that you can use the word for emphasis rather then being actually true. another word is "meat" it use to refer to all foods and food types but has later on changed its meaning and had it narrowed down so you can specify more food types like fruits or vegies. and then theres mixing up words such as "aurol and oral", "ascend and accent", "prescribe and proscribe", "restfull and restive" and so on and so forth. and slang is a completely different story so i wont poke into that for now. anyways, the whole "sell-out" thing...i really dont know too much about it to explain it too well. but what i did explain was kinda the point of the article. thanks for reading.
